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.

该奖项将支持由伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校的 James E. Harper 教授和日本东京大学的 Kikuo Kumazawa 教授联合举办的“豆类共生固氮的生态和生理方面”研讨会。 与会者将于 1989 年 10 月 11 日至 14 日在加州大学戴维斯分校举行会议，报告共生固氮主题的最新研究成果，并继续通过互访和早期联合研讨会交换先前的观点。 共生固氮在农业中非常重要，因为氮是最常限制植物生长的元素。 本次研讨会的参与者将讨论提高豆类固氮效率以及将固氮扩展到其他主要粮食作物的方法。 参与其中的两国科学家将受益于一般性的互动以及正式发表之前对研究结果的详细讨论。 本次研讨会的结果以及由此引发的研究可能对发展中国家产生重大影响，因为化肥生产和分配系统的限制可能是限制这些国家作物生产的主要因素。
