Ninth International Workshop on Plant Membrane Biology, July 19-24, 1992, in Monterey, California

第九届国际植物膜生物学研讨会将于1992年7月19-24日在美国加利福尼亚州蒙特利举行。这次会议/研讨会汇集了植物膜生物学领域的顶尖工作者，介绍他们的最新研究，交流想法和技术，并促进合作。将包括膜转运蛋白的结构、功能和调控，代谢区划，膜受体，光和激素介导的信号转导，膜蛋白靶向，以及胞间连丝的转运。计划举办两个教学研讨会，包括制造商赞助的设备演示，内容涉及膜片钳和细胞内钙测量。诺贝尔奖得主贝尔特·萨克曼将发表主旨演讲。预计，这一激动人心的科学计划与风景优美的环境相结合，将为信息交流和新想法的产生提供理想的条件，这将极大地造福于从事这一植物生物学基础领域工作的美国科学家和学生。

The Ninth International Workshop on Plant Membrane Biology is being held for the first time in the U.S. on July 19-24, 1992 in Monterey, California. This conference/workshop brings together top workers in the field of plant membrane biology to present their latest research, to exchange ideas and techniques and to foster collaborations. The subjects to be included are the structure, function and regulation of membrane transport proteins, metabolic compartmentation, membrane receptors, light and hormone-mediated signal transduction, membrane protein targetting, and transport through plasmodesmata. Two instructional workshops, including manufacturer-sponsored equipment demonstrations, are planned on patch clamping and intracellular calcium measurements. Nobel laureate, Bert Sakmann, will present the keynote address. It is anticipated that the exciting scientific program combined with the scenic environment should provide ideal conditions for the exchange of information and the generation of new ideas which will greatly benefit U.S. scientists and students working in this fundamental area of plant biology.
