US-Mexico Symposium in Plant Biology; Cocoyoc, Mexico, November 5-9, 1995

这项美洲计划奖将资助10名美国科学家和5名博士后和研究生参加1995年11月6日至9日在墨西哥莫雷洛斯科科约克举行的美墨联合研讨会的旅费和相关费用。组织者是加州大学圣地亚哥分校的马丁·克里斯皮尔斯博士和斯坦福大学的弗吉尼亚·沃尔伯特博士，与墨西哥国立自治大学的费德里科·桑切斯博士合作。主题将包括农业生物学、分子生理学和对墨西哥农业重要的作物生物技术。会议将包括一系列研讨会、小型会议和海报会议，围绕植物生物学中的六个重要主题组织，包括谷物的发展、生物技术以及病虫害抗性。主要目标是提供从分子到作物生理层面的方法和主题的垂直整合。这次美墨联合研讨会和迷你研讨会将与第七届全国生物化学和分子生物学大会ts计划同时举行，由墨西哥生化学会赞助。这次会议将为美国和墨西哥的科学家、研究生和博士后研究人员提供一个机会，以启动联系和合作，并加强已经建立的联系和合作。

This Americas Program award will support travel and related expenses for ten U.S. scientists and five postdoctoral and graduate students, to participate in a joint U.S./Mexico symposium to be held on November 6-9, 1995 in Cocoyoc, Morelos, Mexico. Organizers are Dr. Martin Chrispeels, University of California, San Diego, and Dr. Virginia Walbot, Stanford University, in collaboration with Dr. Federico Sanchez, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. Topics will include agrobiology, molecular physiology and biotechnology of crops important to Mexican agriculture. The conference will consist of a series of symposia, minisymposia and poster sessions, organized around six important topics in plant biology, including development of cereals, biotechnology, and disease and insect resistance. The major goal is to provide a vertical integration of approaches and subject matter from the molecular through the level of crop physiology. This joint U.S.-Mexico symposium and minisymposia will be held in conjunction with the VII National Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Plan ts , under the auspices of the Biochemical Society of Mexico. The meeting will provide an opportunity for U.S. and Mexican scientists, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers to initiate contacts and collaborations, and strengthen already established ones.
