Research Training Group in Plant Cell Biology

该奖项为建立一个研究机构提供资金。 植物细胞生物学培训组。 教师组是一个 优秀的高级和初级调查员的混合体， 来自不同的学科背景，但有一个共同的 对细胞生物学感兴趣。 这些资金将为以下人员提供津贴： 研究生，将支持研究参与， 本科生，将支付部分费用， 学员的研究，并将使学员参加 科学会议。 此外，资金将用于购买 专门研究设备，供受训人员使用，并带来 来自其他研究和学术机构的调查人员 戴维斯校园的研讨会和座谈会。 近年来，显微镜新技术的使用和 遗传学和生物化学的应用， 了解细胞的结构和功能。 大部分 这一进展是通过对微生物和动物细胞的研究取得的。 对植物细胞特有的这些特征的知识的增长 落后了 现在非常需要培训 在植物细胞生物学研究方面有专长的新研究人员。 这一奖项授予了全国最优秀的植物群体之一 细胞生物学家应该帮助解决这一需求。

This award provides funds for the establishment of a Research Training Group in Plant Cell Biology. The faculty group is a mixture of outstanding senior and junior investigators who come from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, but share a common interest in cell biology. The funds will provide stipends for graduate students, will support research participation by undergraduate students, will defray part of the cost of the trainees' research and will enable the trainees to attend scientific meetings. In addition, funds will be used to purchase specialized research equipment to be used by trainees, and to bring investigators from other research and academic institutions to the Davis campus for seminars and symposia. In recent years, the use of new techniques for microscopy and the use of genetics and biochemistry has led to significant new knowledge of the architecture and function of the cell. Much of this progress has come through study of microbial and animal cells. The growth of knowledge of such features particular to plant cells has lagged. There is now a significant need for the training of new researchers skilled in the study of cell biology of plants. This award to one of the country's most outstanding groups of plant cell biologists should help to address the need.
