本次研讨会提供了我们的知识的最新评估 的生物合成、代谢和分子生物学 多胺和乙烯。 杰出人士的演讲 该领域的研究人员将提供一个关键的分析， 多胺和乙烯参与植物生长， 发展和应对压力。 的对抗作用 这些分子在衰老、植物胁迫和发育过程中 以及可能的监管机制， 乙烯和多胺途径。 多胺和乙烯是两个重要的主题， 在第五届宾州州立大学植物研讨会上讨论 Physiology. 多胺是一种化合物 作为雄性生育力和花发育的标记。 证据还表明，多胺可以延缓衰老。 乙烯已被证明在以下方面发挥重要的调节作用： 许多生理过程，包括性别表达、开花 启动和促进衰老。 这样做的目的 研讨会将讨论多胺的各种主题， 研究这两个不同但重叠的领域的研究人员 并为在全球化进程中采取创新办法提供催化剂 未来 研讨会将提供学生和博士后 研究员一个不寻常的机会，以满足和互动，在一个小 与该研究领域的领导者进行小组设置。 的 出版的会议记录将提供最新的审查， 这些快速发展的领域的研究将是 对大学生和科学家的普遍价值， 大学、政府和企业。

This symposium provides an up-to-date assessment of our knowledge of the biosynthesis, metabolism and molecular biology of polyamines and ethylene. Presentations by outstanding researchers in the field will provide a critical analysis of the involvement of polyamines and ethylene in plant growth, development, and responses to stress. The antagonistic roles of these molecules in senescence, plant stress and development will be examined, as well as the possible regulatory mechanisms for the ethylene and polyamine pathways. Polyamines and ethylene are the two important topics that will be discussed during the 5th Annual Penn State Symposium in Plant Physiology. Polyamines are compounds that have been implicated as markers for male fertility and in flower development. Evidence also suggests that polyamines may retard senescence. Ethylene has been shown to play an important regulatory role in many physiological processes including sex expression, flower initiation and the promotion of senescence. The purpose of this symposium is to address a variety of topics on polyamine and researchers working on these two distinct yet overlapping subjects and provide a catalyst for innovative approaches in the future. The symposium will provide students and post doctoral fellows an unusual opportunity to meet and interact in a small group setting with the leaders in this research area. The published proceedings will provide an up-to-date review of research in these rapidly advancing fields which will be of general value to students and scientists in colleges and universities, government, and industry.
