U.S.-Mexico Workshop on Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Guanajuato, Mexico, March 15-18, 1998

9800102查佩尔这一美国-墨西哥奖项将支持将于1998年3月15日至18日在墨西哥瓜纳华托举行的植物生物化学和分子生物学研讨会。这笔支持将用于资助一群美国科学家、博士后学者和研究生讨论美国和墨西哥植物科学家共同感兴趣的研究主题和技术的旅费和相关费用。组织者是肯塔基大学的约瑟夫·查佩尔博士、加州大学洛杉矶分校的安·赫希博士和华盛顿州立大学的克拉伦斯·瑞安博士，以及墨西哥国家理工学院(IPN)的阿尔弗雷多·埃雷拉博士。会议的目的是聚集美国和墨西哥的科学家，讨论可能导致生物技术在农业中应用的植物生理学、生物化学和分子生物学的多学科努力。会议将讨论的主题包括植物发育和信号转导、植物与环境的相互作用、植物的新陈代谢过程、植物细胞生物学和作物改良的新策略。这些话题意义重大，不仅因为它们的科学重要性，而且因为它们有可能促进美国和墨西哥科学家之间的长期互动。***

9800102 Chappell This U. S.-Mexico award will support a symposium on plant biochemistry and molecular biology, to be held March 15-18, 1998 in Guanajuato, Mexico. The support will fund travel and related expenses for a group of US scientists, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students to discuss research topics and technologies of mutual interest to US and Mexican plant scientists. Organizers are Dr. Joseph Chappell, University of Kentucky, Dr. Ann Hirsch, UCLA and Dr. Clarence Ryan, Washington State University in collaboration with Dr. Alfredo Herrera, National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), Mexico. The objectives are to bring together U.S. and Mexican scientists to discuss multidisciplinary efforts in plant physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, that may lead to biotechnological applications in agriculture.Topics to be discussed in the conference include plant development and signal transduction, plant-environment interactions, metabolic processes in plants, plant cell biology and novel strategies for crop improvement. These topics are significant, not only for their scientific importance, but also for their potential to promote longlasting interactions between U.S. and Mexican scientists. ***
