4th Annual Penn State Symposium in Plant Physiology; University Park, PA; May 18-20, 1989.

在植物生理学的大学间研究生课程 宾夕法尼亚州立大学赞助一年一度的宾夕法尼亚州立大学 植物生理学专题讨论会 physiology. 宾州州立大学位于沿着的中心地带， 美国东部海岸，是一个相对较短的行程， 美国东部的学生和科学家。 与 1986年宾夕法尼亚州立大学研讨会，每年 植物生理学研讨会现在在西方举行 （滨江，加利福尼亚州），中西部（美国）。东（Penn State）。 %%% 其目的是促进以下各方之间的深入讨论和对话： 研究人员，评估和整合现有的知识和 光能转换的各种模型 光合生物，并确定关键领域 需要进一步研究。 光能转换是 一群不同的科学家， 利用分子、遗传、物理、化学 细胞、生态和农业方法以及世卫组织 很可能会受益于 信息、技术和方法。 除了其 理解光的机制的科学重要性 能量转换是实际工作的核心， 控制光合生产力和植物产量- a 对农业和园艺很感兴趣的目标。

The Intercollege Graduate Program in Plant Physiology of Pennsylvania State University sponsors an Annual Penn State Symposium in Plant Physiology on timely topics in plant physiology. Penn State is centrally located along the Eastern US seaboard and is a relatively short trip for students and scientists in the eastern US. With the institution of the Penn State symposium in 1986, annual symposia in plant physiology are now held in the West (Riverside, CA), Midwest (U. MO) and East (Penn State). %%% The aims are to foster in-depth discussion and dialogue among researchers, to assess and integrate current knowledge and models of light energy transduction from the various photosynthetic organisms, and to identify areas in critical need for further research. Light energy transduction is of keen interest to a diverse set of scientists who study photosynthesis using molecular, genetic, physical, chemical, cellular, ecological and agricultural approaches and who would likely benefit from a cross-fertilization of information, techniques, and approaches. In addition to its scientific importance understanding the mechanism of light energy transduction is central to practical efforts to manipulate photosynthetic productivity and plant yield - a goal of great interest in agriculture and horticulture.
