International Congress of Plant Physiology and Indo-U.S. Workshop on Interfacing Biotechnology and Crop Stress, New Delhi, India, Feb. 15-25, 1988, Award in Indian Currency

描述：该项目为美国的一个项目提供部分支持。 代表团出席国际植物生理学大会 随后将举行一次印度-美国讲习班， 利用生物技术解决作物胁迫问题。 大会包括 四个专题：作物产量的生理基础， 环境胁迫、营养胁迫、收获前和收获后 收获生理生化。 研讨会的目的是 将合作项目的重点放在克服生理限制上 对作物产量的影响，尤其是那些与寒冷有关的作物， 气候、干旱土地或盐碱条件下。 范围：美国参加国会，其中13人将是 在这个项目下得到支持的是 会议的具体领域，即植物生理学、作物 生产和生物技术。 其他发言者将来自 加拿大、澳大利亚和印度。 印度植物科学家和 生物技术专家已经在改善 他们的农业产量，但仍然有很大的兴趣， 印度在抗击干旱的破坏性影响方面的作用， 将农业扩大到边际土地和不利的天气条件。 这同样适用于美国的某些地区以及许多 发展中国家 大会和研讨会将提供一个 交流信息和突出具体 可能产生重大应用成果的研究领域。 有很大的可能性增加研究合作，作为一个 这些会议的结果。

Description: This project provides partial support for a U.S. delegation to attend an international congress on plant physiology to be followed by an Indo-U.S. Workshop on the application of biotechnology to problems of crop stress. The congress includes four symposium topics: physiological basis of crop yield, environmental stress, nutritional stress, and preharvest and post harvest physiology and biochemistry. The workshop's aim is to focus cooperative projects on overcoming physiological constraints to crop productivity, especially those that are related to cold climate, arid lands or under saline conditions. Scope: The U.S. participants in the Congress, of whom 13 are to be supported under this project, are well known scientists in the specific areas of the conference, namely plant physiology, crop production and biotechnology. Other speakers will come from Canada, Australia as will as India. Indian plant scientists and biotechnologists have accomplished major successes in improving their agricultural output, but there is still great interest in India in combating the devastating effects of droughts, and in expanding farming to marginal land and adverse weather conditions. The same applies to certain region in the U.S. as well as in many developing countries. The congress and the workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of information and highlight specific research areas likely to produce significant applicable results. There is strong likelihood of increased research collaboration as a result of these meetings.
