U.S.-Japan Seminar: Classical and Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis of Cereal Genomes;, March, 1994; Manhattan, KS

该奖项支持10名美国科学家参加将于1994年3月8日至10日在堪萨斯州曼哈顿举行的关于谷物基因组经典和分子细胞遗传学分析的美日研讨会。共同组织者是堪萨斯州立大学Bikram S. Gill教授和京都大学Koichiro Tsunewaki教授。研讨会的主要目的是召集研究人员，特别是助理或副教授级别的年轻研究人员，讨论谷物基因组结构和比较基因组制图。与会者来自古典和分子领域，将讨论共同感兴趣的问题，如染色体结构和功能，核-细胞质相互作用，细胞质雄性不育。这次会议将促进谷物遗传学家、谷物和非谷物遗传学家、植物和哺乳动物细胞遗传学家之间的互动。为了了解多倍体植物基因组结构、进化和物种形成的共同机制，我们还邀请了多倍体植物的一些科学家。讨论会的会议记录将以平装本出版并广泛分发。

This award supports the participation of ten U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan Seminar on Classical and Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis of Cereal Genomes, which will be held in March 8-10, 1994 in Manhattan, Kansas. The co-organizers are Professor Bikram S. Gill, Kansas State University, and Professor Koichiro Tsunewaki, Kyoto University. The major objective of the seminar is to bring together researchers, particularly younger researchers at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, to discuss cereal genome structure and comparative genome mapping. The participants, who are from classical and molecular areas, will discuss problems of common interest such as chromosome structure and function, nucleo-cytoplasmic interactions, and cytoplasmic male sterility. This meeting will stimulate interaction among cereal geneticists, cereal and non-cereal geneticists, and plant and mammalian cytogeneticists. To arrive at common mechanisms underlying the genome structure, evolution, and speciation in polyploid plants, some scientists in polyploid plants are also invited. The proceedings of the seminar will be published as a paperback and widely distributed.
