Conference on Membrane Traffic and Recycling in Eukaryotes, May 6-8, 1988, Wesley Chapel, Florida

本次研讨会的目标是将植物、动物和酵母细胞生物学家聚集在一起，专注于真核生物系统中的膜运输，以(1)刺激传统网络之外的信息交换；(2)评估动物和植物之间所涉及的过程在多大程度上相似或不同；(3)确定未来的研究方向。胞膜动力学是真核细胞生命的基础。这一领域的重大进展来自于对动物和酵母细胞的研究；关于这个问题的会议和专题讨论会几乎完全集中在这些系统上。相比之下，技术上的障碍阻碍了植物王国的进步。此外，动物细胞和酵母研究人员与那些试图了解植物中这些现象的人之间的交流相对较少。这个重要而及时的研讨会是一个受欢迎的尝试，为细胞生物学的一个重要而不发达的领域激发新的想法和方法。

TARTAKOFF The goal of the proposed workshop is to bring plant, animal, and yeast cell biologists together to focus on membrane trafficking in eukaryotic systems, to (1) stimulate exchange of information beyond traditional networks; (2) evaluate to what extent the processes involved are similar or different between animals and plants; and (3) identify future research directions. The dynamics of intracellular membranes are fundamental to the life of eukaryotic cells. Considerable progress in this area has come from work on animal and yeast cells; conferences and symposia on the subject concentrate almost exclusively on these systems. In contrast, technical stumbling-blocks have hampered progress in the plant kingdom. Furthermore, there is relatively little communication between the animal cell and yeast investigators and those who are attempting to understand these phenomena in plants. This important and timely workshop is a welcome attempt to stimulate new ideas and approaches to an important and underdeveloped area of cell biology.
