Financial Support for the 18th Annual Symposium in Plant Physiology, January 18-20, 1996, Riverside, California

9513967希思植物和植物科学系，加州大学，滨江（UCR）举行了一个研讨会，在过去的17年中，及时的主题在植物生物学。 第十八届植物生物学年会将于1996年1月18日至20日举行。 1996年研讨会的目的是汇集科学家在植物生长和发展领域的影响，由光，与意图的介绍，并从他们产生的讨论，将导致更好地了解细胞，生理和遗传方面的光环境。 它将涵盖影响地球上植物的主要电磁波段，包括光敏色素和蓝光反应以及由于臭氧层屏蔽减弱而将增加的紫外光谱。 这五个部分将是：1）光感受器的特性; 2）基因表达的光调节; 3）信号转导; 4）突变体的使用;以及5）整个植物的响应，还包括昼夜节律。 来自国外和其他机构的演讲者，包括介绍创新分子方法的年轻研究人员，将被邀请参加。 海报展示也将包括在节目中。 所提交的论文以及海报摘要将以低廉的价格迅速出版。 滨江是一个理想的地点为这次研讨会，因为有许多研究人员在加州和西部各州。

9513967 Heath The Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, University of California, Riverside (UCR) has held a symposium for the past 17 years on timely topics in plant biology. The 18th Annual Sympoisum in Plant Biology, entitled "How Plants Use the Light Environment to Regulate Growth and Development," will be held January 18-20, 1996. The objective of the 1996 Symposium is to bring together scientists working in the area of plant growth and development as influenced by light, with the intention that the presentations, and the discussion arising from them, will lead to a greater understanding of the cellular, physiological, and genetic aspects of the photo-environment. It will cover the major electromagnetic bands which influence plants on earth, including the phytochrome and blue light responses and the UV spectrum which will be increasing due to the weakening of the ozone layer shield. The five sections will be: 1) properties of the photoreceptors; 2) light regulation of gene expression; 3) signal transduction; 4) the use of mutants; and 5) the whole plant response, to also including circadian rhythms. Speakers from abroad and from other institutions, including young investigators who have introduced innovative molecular approaches, will be invited to participate. Poster presentations will also be included in the program. The presented papers, as well as poster abstracts, will be published rapidly and inexpensively. Riverside is an ideal location for this symposium because there are many researchers within California and the western states.
