The First International Workshop on Nitrogen Regulation in Ascomycetes; Cuernavaca, Mexico, May 5-9, 1997

9722449 Magasanik这一美国-墨西哥奖项将支持将在墨西哥圣何塞维斯塔赫莫萨举行的子囊菌氮代谢研究研讨会。组织者是麻省理工学院的Boris Magasanik教授和墨西哥国立自治大学(UNAM)细胞生理学研究所的Alicia Gonzalez教授。研讨会的目的是将来自美国、欧洲、澳大利亚和墨西哥的科学家聚集在一起，讨论有关生长介质中氮丰富或缺乏的信息导致参与氮代谢的基因表达的不同机制。会议将由每位受邀与会者进行一小时的演讲，然后就正在讨论的主题进行圆桌讨论，重点是正在研究的不同生物的特殊环境、它们的进化以及结果对高等动植物的意义。演讲摘要将提供给所有与会者以及所有感兴趣的科学家。***

9722449 Magasanik This U.S.-Mexico award will support a research workshop on nitrogen metabolism in Ascomycetes, to be held in San Jose Vistahermosa, Mexico. Organizers are Prof. Boris Magasanik of MIT and Prof. Alicia Gonzalez, from the Cellular Physiology Institute of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scientists from the United States, Europe, Australia, and Mexico to discuss the diverse mechanisms whereby information on nitrogen abundance or lack thereof in the growth medium, leads to the expression of genes involved in nitrogen metabolism. The meeting will consist of one hour talks by each of the invited participants followed by round table discussions of the topics under discussion, with emphasis on the particular environments of the different organisms under study, their evolution, and significance of results for higher plants and animals. Abstracts of talks will be made available to all participants as well as to all interested scientists. * * *
