This award supports Professor Steven Pueppke and a graduate student of the University of Missouri to collaborate in botanical research with Professor Dietrich Werner of the Biology Department of the Phillips University of Marburg, Germany. They are studying biochemical signaling in the symbiotic association between soybean, a leguminous plant, and the soil dwelling bacteria, Rhizobium. This association provides a model system in which to study the chemical signals from the plant root that selectively attract certain bacterial species, as well as the return cues from the bacteria which prepare the plant for friendly invasion. Complementary expertise in this particular symbiotic pair (US side) and in various plant signals that promote or block symbiosis (German side) make this an ideal partnership to pursue improved understanding of the chemical signaling in this system.

该奖项支持密苏里州大学的Steven Pueppke教授和一名研究生与德国马尔堡的菲利普斯大学生物系的Dietrich Werner教授合作进行植物学研究。 他们正在研究大豆（一种豆科植物）和土壤细菌根瘤菌（Rhizobium）之间共生关系的生化信号。 这种关联提供了一个模型系统，在其中研究来自植物根部的选择性吸引某些细菌物种的化学信号，以及来自细菌的返回线索，这些细菌为植物的友好入侵做好准备。 在这一特定的共生对（美国方面）和促进或阻止共生的各种植物信号（德国方面）方面的互补专业知识使这成为一个理想的合作伙伴关系，以进一步了解该系统中的化学信号。
