Various environmental conditions including both abiotic (wind, temperature, water, soil, light, etc.) and biotic (micro-organisms, viruses, insects, plants and animals) exert their influences on plants. Here, four environmental factors have been selected for dicussion. They include abiotic (water and temperature) and biotic (insects and plant diseases). Despite the evolution of natural defense mechanisms, many especially food and fiber crops, still experience serious losses every year due to environmental stress. Recently, scientists have learned to manipulate plants to overcome some of these conditions through newly discovered techniques such as molecular genetics and biotechnology. An important goal of this workshop is to bring together specialists in these fields to share their expertise with the plants scientists at the major Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's).

各种环境条件，包括非生物(风、温度、水、土壤、光照等)和生物(微生物、病毒、昆虫、植物和动物)对植物产生影响。在这里，选择了四个环境因素进行讨论。它们包括非生物(水和温度)和生物(昆虫和植物病害)。尽管自然防御机制在进化，但许多作物，特别是粮食和纤维作物，每年仍因环境胁迫而遭受严重损失。最近，科学家们已经学会了通过分子遗传学和生物技术等新发现的技术来操纵植物来克服其中的一些条件。这次研讨会的一个重要目标是将这些领域的专家聚集在一起，与主要的历史黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的植物科学家分享他们的专业知识。
