9553030 Deng This is a NSF Presidential Faculty Fellow Award. Through photosynthesis, light provides the energy source for plants and, ultimately, for all living organisms. In response to a fluctuating environment, nonmotile plants are able to sense varying light signals and to optimize growth and development. Higher plants possess sophisticated photosensory and largely uncharacterized signal transduction and itegration systems to monitor the direction, quantity and quality of light signals and to adjust their growth and development accordingly. This award will enable Dr. Deng to pursue those research directions which are important to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms of light control of plant development, and to explore new research directions as science dictates. As a Presidential Faculty Fellow, Dr. Deng is expected to be involved in the training of the next generation of scientists and in activities that will increase scientific literacy of undergraduate student populations.

9553030邓这是一个美国国家科学基金会总统教职员奖。 通过光合作用，光为植物提供能量来源，并最终为所有生物体提供能量来源。 为了应对波动的环境，不运动的植物能够感知不同的光信号并优化生长和发育。 高等植物具有复杂的光感受和信号转导系统，可以监测光信号的方向、数量和质量，并相应地调节其生长和发育。 该奖项将使邓博士能够继续从事那些对理解植物发育光控制的分子和细胞机制至关重要的研究方向，并探索科学要求的新研究方向。 作为总统学院研究员，邓博士预计将参与下一代科学家的培训和提高本科生科学素养的活动。
