Eighteenth Fungal Genetics Conference in Asilomar, CA March 21-26, 1995

9423564韦斯第十八届真菌遗传学会议将于1995年3月21-26日在加州的阿西洛马会议中心举行。 来自世界各地的大约500名科学家和学生将参加。 会议的重点是丝状真菌的分子生物学、遗传学、生物化学和细胞生物学。 会议包括六次全体会议、三次海报会议、非正式讨论和一天专门用于专门领域的并行讲习班。 主题包括信号传导，基因表达和基因组结构，有性和无性生殖，细胞生物学和形态发生，以及植物和动物真菌的发病机制。 特别强调代表性不足群体的科学家和学生的参与。 真菌遗传学对生物技术的许多领域都很重要，例如生物修复和植物病理学。 每半年一次的真菌遗传学会议为研究许多不同真菌的科学家提供了一种交流思想和信息的手段。 例如，植物病理学家使用的研究方法的复杂性有了惊人的提高，部分原因是他们在这些会议上与基础研究界进行了交流。 ***

9423564 Weiss The Eighteenth Fungal Genetics Conference, is being held at the Asilomar Conference Center at Asilomar, California on March 21-26, 1995. Approximately 500 scientists and students from around the world will attend. The conference is focused on the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and cell biology of filamentous fungi. The meeting consists of six plenary sessions, three poster sessions, informal discussions, and a day devoted to concurrent workshops in specialized areas. Topics covered are signal transduction, gene expression and genome structure, sexual and asexual reproduction, cell biology and morphogenesis, and plant and animal fungal pathogenesis. Strong emphasis is placed on the participation of scientists and students from underrepresented groups. %%% Fungal genetics is important to a number of areas of biotechnology, such as bioremediation and plant pathology. The semiannual Fungal Genetics Conference provides a means for scientists studying a number of different fungi to exchange ideas and information. For example, there has been an extraordinary increase in sophistication of the research approaches used by plant pathologists due, in part, to their exchanges with the basic research community at these conferences. ***
