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

9722449马加桑尼克 这个美国-墨西哥奖将支持在墨西哥圣何塞Vistahermosa举行的子囊菌氮代谢研究讲习班。 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细胞生理学研究所的Alicia Gonzalez教授。 该研讨会的目的是汇集来自美国，欧洲，澳大利亚和墨西哥的科学家，讨论不同的机制，其中氮的丰度或缺乏的信息在生长介质中，导致参与氮代谢的基因的表达。 会议将由每个受邀与会者进行一小时的会谈，然后进行圆桌讨论，重点讨论正在研究的不同生物体的特定环境，它们的进化以及结果对高等植物和动物的意义。会谈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. * * *
