Plant Biochemistry Course, '92 to be held in San Diego, CA, June 28-July 19, 1992

该奖项将于1992年6月28日至7月19日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举办为期三周的植物生物化学暑期课程。生物化学反应根据细胞内的指令创造形态和功能。在过去的二十年里，我们对植物基因指令如何解读的认识有了令人兴奋的发展。然而，关于代谢途径和这些途径的调节的信息只增加了一点点。此外，由于对植物生物化学感兴趣的研究人员数量的减少，年轻一代的植物生物学家学习已知植物生物化学的机会越来越少。本暑期课程旨在将植物生物界的注意力集中在植物细胞的形态和功能的生化问题上，这些问题可以利用近年来开发的工具来解决。20位讲师，都是植物生物化学特定方面的专家，被选中就植物生物化学的关键主题进行讲座和领导讨论。目标受众是高级研究生，博士后根据指令在细胞中发现功能。在过去的二十年里，我们对植物基因指令如何解读的认识有了令人兴奋的发展。然而，关于代谢途径和这些途径的调节的信息只增加了一点点。此外，由于对植物生物化学感兴趣的研究人员数量的减少，年轻一代的植物生物学家学习已知植物生物化学的机会越来越少。本暑期课程旨在将植物生物界的注意力集中在植物细胞的形态和功能的生化问题上，这些问题可以利用近年来开发的工具来解决。20位讲师，都是植物生物化学特定方面的专家，被选中就植物生物化学的关键主题进行讲座和领导讨论。目标受众是高级研究生，博士后研究员和学院/大学教授，他们在自己的机构教授植物生物化学。课程完成后，课堂讲稿将广泛提供给一般科学界，作为植物生物化学教学的辅助。该课程由美国农业部和能源部联合支持。

This award supports a three-week summer course on plant biochemistry to be held on June 28 - July 19, 1992 on the campus of U.C. San Diego. Biochemical reactions create form and function according to the instructions found in the cells. In the last two decades, there have been exciting developments in our knowledge of how genetic instructions are read in plants. However, the information about metabolic pathways and the regulation of these pathways has increased only marginally. In addition, younger generations of plant biologists have fewer and fewer opportunities to learn about what is known about plant biochemistry due to the decreasing number of investigators interested in the subject. This summer course is designed to focus attention of the plant biology community on the biochemical problems of form and function of plant cells that could profitably be addressed using the tools developed during recent years. Twenty lecturers, all experts on specific aspects of plant biochemistry, are selected to give lectures and lead discussion sessions on key topics in plant biochemistry. The target audience is advanced graduate students, postdoctoral function according tot he instructions found in the cells.

The target audience is advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and college/university professors who teach plant biochemistry at their institutions. After the course is completed, the lecture notes will be made available widely to the general scientific community as an aide to teach plant biochemistry. The course is supported jointly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy.
