项目摘要

This award will support the participation of ten U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan Seminar on Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Membrane and Storage Lipids of Plants, to be held December 14- 16, 1992 in Kona, Hawaii. The co-organizers are Professor Christopher Somerville, Plant Research Laboratory, Michigan State University, and Professor Norio Murata, Department of Regulation Biology, National Institute for Basic Biology, Okazaki, Japan. This seminar will provide a forum for representatives of the major academic and industrial research laboratories in the United States and Japan, as well as major academic research groups in four European countries, to exchange up to date information and explore possible collaboration. The significance of the topic of the seminar lies in the fact that membrane lipid composition is thought to be a major component of chilling tolerance in higher plants. In addition, the composition of dietary vegetable oils has significant health effects and the composition of non-food oils determines the utility of the oils for a wide range of non-food industrial applications. Recent advances in plant molecular biology have raised the possibility of using genetic engineering techniques to modify oil composition and the cold tolerance of plants by rational genetic modification of crop species using cloned genes. Since most of the research groups with expertise in both biochemistry and molecular biology are in the United States and Japan, their meeting in this seminar along with some of their European colleagues should prove fruitful.

该奖项将支持十名美国科学家参与一项美国--日本生物化学与分子生物学研讨会植物的膜和储存脂质，将于12月14日至 1992年16日在夏威夷的科纳。主办单位为教授克里斯托弗萨默维尔，植物研究实验室，密歇根州大学管理系教授村田纪夫日本冈崎国立基础生物学研究所生物学。这次研讨会将为各主要组织的代表提供一个论坛，美国的学术和工业研究实验室以及四个主要学术研究团体欧洲国家，交流最新信息，探讨可能的合作。研讨会主题的意义在于，膜脂成分被认为是一个主要组成部分，高等植物的耐冷性此外，食用植物油对健康有显著的影响，非食用油的组成决定了油的效用，广泛的非食品工业应用。的最新进展植物分子生物学提高了利用遗传工程技术，以改变油的组成和冷通过作物物种的合理遗传修饰使植物耐受使用克隆的基因。由于大多数研究小组与生物化学和分子生物学方面的专业知识，美国和日本，他们在这次研讨会上的会晤沿着着他们的一些欧洲同事应该会取得成果。
