Sixth International Conference on Juvenile Hormone, September 10-15, 1995, Woods Hole, Masssachusetts

9418745请提供格兰杰基金，以支持将于1995年9月10日至15日在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔举行的题为“第六届国际青少年荷尔蒙会议”的科学会议。会议的目的是介绍和讨论幼虫激素(JH)内分泌学的最新进展，JH调节昆虫的生长、发育和繁殖。将讨论以下主题：1)保幼激素的进化；2)JH的生物合成和代谢；3)JH的运输调节；4)JH的产生调节；5)细胞上的JH受体；6)JH的作用方式和JH调节的基因；7)JH在生殖中的作用；8)JH研究中的新技术；9)应用研究的最新进展。除了专题讲座外，还将有较短的演讲和海报会议。会议记录将在《昆虫生物化学和生理学档案》的双册上发表。传统上，这是一次小型会议，有来自美国、加拿大、欧洲、以色列、印度、中国和日本的80-100名与会者。每届会议的主要发言者是从登记人中选出的，其他发言者和海报主持人是根据提交的摘要选出的。学生和博士后研究员的参与一直受到鼓励。这次会议的重点是独特的，吸引了许多不同基础和应用科学学科的科学家讨论在昆虫生长和发育的非常重要的方面的研究进展。***

9418745 Granger Funds are requested to support a scientific conference entitled "Sixth International Conference on the Juvenile Hormones" to be held September 10-15, 1995 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The purpose of the meeting is the presentation and discussion of recent developments in the endocrinology of the juvenile hormones (JH) which regulate growth, development, and reproduction in the insects. The following topics will be discussed: 1) the evolution of juvenile hormones; 2) JH biosynthesis and metabolism; 3) regulation of transport by JH; 4) regulation of JH production; 5) JH receptors on cells; 6) mode of action and JH-regulated genes; 7) the role of JH in reproduction; 8) new technology in JH research; and 9) recent developments in applied research. In addition to feature lectures, there will be shorter talks and poster sessions. The proceedings of the meeting will be published in a double volume of Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology. This is traditionally a small meeting, with its 80-100 participants coming from the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, India, China and Japan. Principal speakers to head each session are chosen from the registrants, with additional speakers and poster presenters chosen on the basis of submitted abstracts. Participation of students and post-doctoral fellows has always been encouraged. This conference is unique in its focus and draws scientists working in many different basic and applied scientific disciplines for discussions of the research progress in very important aspects of insect growth and development. ***
