项目摘要

9907518PfisterThis Americas Program award will support travel and related expenses for 10 US scientists and teachers and researchers from various countries of Central and South America to participate in an international workshop on Ascomycetes, to be held in Caracas, Venezuela, August 26-31, 1999. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the Latin American Association of Mycology Congress (ALM). Organizers are Dr. Donald H. Pfister, Harvard University and Dr. Teresa Iturriaga, Simon Bolivar University, Caracas. US and Latin American graduate students enrolled in systematic programs will be included as participants. Ascomycetes comprise a major group of fungi that are economically important as plant pathogens, as sources of pharmaceuticals, and in industrial processing, and they are equally critical in the ecosystem dynamics. Their diversity has only begun to be addressed, with many undescribed species. The overall diversity is highest in the wet forests and rain forests of the tropical regions of South America, and it is such areas that can benefit from intensive collections and study by resident mycologists. Through this workshop Latin American mycologists will be introduced to the various groups of the fungi, and encouraged to continue the research. In this venue, ideas and current research findings can be shared with present and/or potential Latin American researchers, and the direct and personal contact can lead to constructive projects and collaborations which ultimately will help to shape biodiversity studies in understudied areas. ***

9907518 Pfister这一美洲方案奖将资助来自中美洲和南美洲各国的10名美国科学家、教师和研究人员参加将于1999年8月26日至31日在委内瑞拉加拉加斯举行的子囊菌国际讲习班的旅费和有关费用。该研讨会将与拉丁美洲真菌学大会（ALM）联合举行。组织者是唐纳德·H。Pfister，哈佛大学和Teresa Iturriaga博士，西蒙玻利瓦尔大学，加拉加斯。参加系统课程的美国和拉丁美洲研究生将被列为参与者。子囊菌包括作为植物病原体、作为药物来源和在工业加工中具有经济重要性的真菌的主要群组，并且它们在生态系统动力学中同样关键。它们的多样性才刚刚开始得到解决，还有许多未被描述的物种。总体多样性在南美洲热带地区的潮湿森林和热带雨林中最高，正是这些地区可以从驻地真菌学家的密集收集和研究中受益。通过这次研讨会，拉丁美洲的真菌学家将被介绍到真菌的各个群体，并鼓励继续研究。在这个场地，想法和当前的研究成果可以与现有和/或潜在的拉丁美洲研究人员分享，直接和个人的接触可以导致建设性的项目和合作，最终将有助于在研究不足的地区形成生物多样性研究。***
