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

小行星9800102 这个U。S.-墨西哥奖将用于支持定于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。 该支持将资助一批美国科学家，博士后学者和研究生的旅行和相关费用，以讨论美国和墨西哥植物科学家共同感兴趣的研究课题和技术。 组织者是肯塔基州大学的Joseph Chappell博士、加州大学洛杉矶分校的Ann Hirsch博士和华盛顿州立大学的Clarence Ryan博士，他们与墨西哥国家理工学院的Alfredo Herrera博士合作。 这次会议的目的是使美国和墨西哥的科学家聚集一堂，讨论植物生理学、生物化学和分子生物学等多学科的研究成果，以促进生物技术在农业上的应用。会议将讨论植物发育和信号传导、植物与环境的相互作用、植物的代谢过程、植物细胞生物学以及作物改良的新策略等问题。 这些主题意义重大，不仅因为它们在科学上的重要性，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. ***
