9726524 Grossman This award supports the participation of American scientists and engineers in a U.S.-Japan seminar on the effects of environmental conditions on CO2 fixation and the photosynthetic apparatus, to be held in Pacific Grove, California in November, 1998. The co-organizers are Dr. Arthur Grossman of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and Professor Tatsuo Omata of Nagoya University in Japan. The emphasis of the seminar will be on the ways in which photosynthetic organisms cope with their environment and will include researchers from different disciplines; some of these disciplines emphasize a reductionist approach while others view acclimation processes at the more global scale. The former gains strength by helping to provide detailed mechanistic information that can help us predict the consequences of change, while the latter can often identify major large scale problems and give the reductionists a perspective on the problem. A binational dialogue among the researchers of different disciplines will help identify important areas for further analysis and lead to collaborative efforts to meet the challenge of coping with changing environmental conditions. Developing a more detailed understanding of this broad area of research will help in understanding factors that limit plant growth and productivity in given environments. Additionally, it might enable us to extend the range of environments in which specific plants can survive and might also provide new insights into the ways in which long-term changes in the atmosphere of the earth (gas composition, incident light intensity and quality and temperature) will affect the growth and photosynthetic activity of plants. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger researchers, postdoctoral resea rchers and graduate students. Proceedings of the meeting are expected to be made available by the organizers. ***

小行星9726524 该奖项支持美国科学家和工程师参与美国-环境条件对CO2固定和光合机构的影响日本研讨会，拟于1998年11月在加州太平洋格罗夫举行。 共同组织者是华盛顿卡内基研究所的亚瑟格罗斯曼博士和日本名古屋大学的大俣达雄教授。 研讨会的重点将是光合生物科普环境的方式，并将包括来自不同学科的研究人员;其中一些学科强调还原论的方法，而另一些学科则在更全球范围内看待适应过程。 前者通过帮助提供详细的机械信息来帮助我们预测变化的后果，而后者通常可以识别主要的大规模问题，并为简化论者提供问题的视角。 不同学科的研究人员之间的两国对话将有助于确定需要进一步分析的重要领域，并导致合作努力，以应对不断变化的环境条件的挑战。 对这一广泛的研究领域进行更详细的了解将有助于了解在特定环境中限制植物生长和生产力的因素。 此外，它可能使我们能够扩大特定植物可以生存的环境范围，也可能为地球大气的长期变化（气体成分，入射光强度和质量以及温度）影响植物生长和光合作用活动的方式提供新的见解。 与日本专家在这一领域的想法和数据交流将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会的组织者特别努力让年轻的研究人员、博士后研究人员和研究生参与进来。 会议记录预计将由组织者提供。 ***
