U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Ecological and Physiological Aspects of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Legumes; October 1989;Davis, CA

该奖项将支持一个研讨会，“生态和生理 豆科植物共生固氮的各个方面”， 詹姆斯·E教授伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校的哈珀和 日本东京大学的熊泽纪夫教授。 参与者 将于1989年10月11日至14日在加州大学戴维斯分校举行会议， 报告共生体的最新研究成果 固氮，并继续交换意见，以前 通过互访和早期的联合讲习班进行。 共生固氮在农业中具有巨大的重要性， 因为氮是最常限制植物生长的元素。 研讨会的与会者将讨论如何改进 豆科植物的固氮效率， 固定到其他主要粮食作物。 两国科学家 这里涉及的将受益于一般的互动， 在正式出版之前对研究结果进行详细讨论。 这次讲习班的成果以及由此激发的研究成果， 对发展中国家有重大影响，因为 用于制造和分配肥料的系统可以是 限制这些国家农作物生产的主要因素。

This award will support a seminar, "Ecological and Physiological Aspects of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Legumes," organized jointly by Prof. James E. Harper of the University of Illinois, Urbana, and Prof. Kikuo Kumazawa of the University of Tokyo, Japan. Participants will meet October 11-14, 1989 at the University of California, Davis, to report recent research results on the subject of symbiotic nitrogen fixation, and to continue exchanges of ideas previously effected through exchange visits and earlier joint workshops. Symbiotic Nitrogen fixation is of enormous importance in agriculture, because nitrogen is the element which most often limits plant growth. Participants in this workshop will discuss methods of improving the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in legumes, and of extending nitrogen fixation to other major food crops. Scientists from both countries involved here will benefit from the general interaction and from detailed discussion of research results prior to formal publication. Results of this workshop, and of research stimulated by it, could have major impact on developing countries, because limitations in systems for the manufacture and distribution of fertilizer may be a major factor limiting crop production in those countries.
