Signalling in Plant Development Conference, September 27th-October 1, 1995 New York

小行星9507339 植物发育中的信号传递会议将于1995年9月27日至10月1日在冷泉港实验室举行。 这将是一个公开的国际会议，将致力于在两个迅速发展的领域-植物信号转导机制和植物发育的分子生物学的接口的最新进展和发现。高等植物的发育受到来自植物内外的多种信号的调控，这些信号引起了植物的一般性和特异性生物反应，阐明信号传导机制对于理解植物发育至关重要。即将召开的会议的重点是解释和整合植物发育背景下信号转导机制的新发现。在过去的几年中，这种会议的需要是证明了快速的进展，例如克隆的光形态发生的调节器，阐明钙和cGMP的作用，在发育对光的反应，克隆的花粉-柱头相互作用的调节器，克隆的基因，控制开花时间，和克隆的基因参与病原体识别。会议将允许在一个共同的框架内，在面对面接触的气氛中介绍这些不同主题的最新成果和方法。按照冷泉港会议的传统形式，口头报告将主要是关于新的未发表的发现。并特别鼓励年轻科学家的报告。 会议将涉及的领域是：1）发芽，2）光形态发生，3）营养生长，4）开花，5）花粉和受精，5）果实发育和胚胎发生，6）改变的发育程序-环境效应和7）改变的发育程序-生物效应。 ***

9507339 Sundaresan The meeting on Signalling in Plant Development will be held at the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory from September 27 to October 1, 1995. It will be an open international meeting that will be devoted to recent advances and discoveries at the interface of two swiftly progressing fields - signal transduction mechanisms in plants, and the molecular biology of plant development. The development of a higher plant is regulated by a multitude of signals from within and without, that evoke both generalized and specific biological responses, and elucidation of the mechanisms of signalling is vital to understanding plant development. The emphasis of the forthcoming meeting is on interpreting and integrating new finding on the mechanisms of signal transduction within the context of plant development. The need for such a meeting is evidenced by the rapid advances during the last few years, e.g. cloning of regulators of photomorphogenesis, elucidation of the roles of calcium and cGMP in the developmental response to light, cloning of regulators of pollen-stigma interactions, cloning of genes that control flowering time, and cloning of genes involved in pathogen recognition. The meeting will allow presentation of recent results and methodologies in these different topics within a common framework, in an atmosphere of face to face contact. In keeping with the traditional format of Cold Spring Harbor meetings, the oral presentations will be primarily on new unpublished finding. and particular encouragement will be given to presentations by younger scientists. The areas to be covered by the meeting are: 1) Germination, 2) Photomorphogenesis, 3) Vegetative growth, 4) Flowering, 5) Pollination and fertilization, 5) Fruit development and embryogenesis, 6) Altered developmental programs- environmental effectors and 7) Altered developmental programs- biological effectors. ***
