Group Travel to Tenth International Nitrogen Fixation Congress, St. Petersburg, Russia, May 28 to June 3, 1995

9507539牛顿第十届国际固氮大会将于1995年5月28日至6月3日在俄罗斯圣彼得堡举行。固氮是与地球上生命支持有关的最重要的主题领域之一，涉及与自然资源保护有关的问题，特别是化石燃料、植物-微生物信号和相互作用、调节机制、营养、粮食生产等。预计将有来自30多个不同国家的参与者参加。将讨论的主题几乎包括生物和非生物固氮的所有方面，包括以下主要研讨会：I固氮酶II的化学和生物化学遗传和固氮作用的调节III植物-微生物相互作用中的信号过程IV根瘤细菌基因组的结构和进化V共生中的植物反应VI碳、氮和氧代谢VII固氮的农业和生态方面被邀请参加大会的77名科学家中的20名来自美国。该奖项将支持大约10名研究生的旅费，他们是俄罗斯助学金的获得者，用于支付在俄罗斯的费用。它还将用于支持参加大会的年轻美国科学家、女性和少数族裔的旅行。

9507539 Newton The Tenth International Congress on Nitrogen Fixation will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia from May 28 to June 3, 1995. Nitrogen fixation is one of the most important subject areas relating to the support of life on Earth and encompasses concerns related to natural resource conservation, particularly fossil fuels, plant-microbe signalling and interaction, regulatory mechanisms, nutrition, food production, etc. This Congress is the single most important meeting for the scientific field. Participants from over 30 different countries are expected to attend. The topics to be discussed will include virtually all aspects of biological and non-biological nitrogen fixation, including the following major symposia: I Chemistry and Biochemistry of Nitrogenase II Genetics and Regulation of Nitrogen Fixation III Signalling Processes in Plant-Microbe Interactions IV Structure and Evolution of the Nodule Bacterial Genome V Plant Response in Symbiosis VI Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen Metabolism VII Agricultural and Ecological Aspect of Nitrogen Fixation Of the 77 scientists who have been invited to participate in the Congress, 20 are from the United States. The award will support travel for approximately 10 graduate students who are the recipient of the Russian grants to cover in-Russia expenses. It will also be used to support the travel of younger U.S. scientists, women and minorities who attend the Congress.
