Although it has long been known that the plant hormone auxin plays a role in virtually all aspects of plant growth and development, it is only recently that biologists have had the tools available to address questions regarding the specifics of these processes. The application of new technologies and vastly improved analytical methods are leading to dramatic advances in understanding of auxin transport, auxin biosynthesis, auxin metabolism, and auxin mode of action. The first international workshop devoted entirely to the subject of auxin biology will include sessions on auxin and genomics, auxin and embryonic pattern, auxin and vegetative pattern, auxin and flower/fruit development, and auxin and cell division. Researchers from around the world will meet to discuss recent research progress as well as to plan new collaborations that exploit all of these new tools. NSF support of this conference will provide funds to help defray travel costs for junior scientists and for some of the invited US speakers.

虽然人们早就知道植物激素生长素在植物生长和发育的几乎所有方面都起着作用，但直到最近，生物学家才有了解决这些过程细节问题的工具。 新技术的应用和分析方法的极大改进使人们对生长素的运输、生长素的生物合成、生长素的代谢和生长素的作用方式的理解取得了巨大的进步。 第一次国际研讨会完全致力于生长素生物学的主题将包括生长素和基因组学，生长素和胚胎模式，生长素和营养模式，生长素和花/果实发育，生长素和细胞分裂的会议。 来自世界各地的研究人员将开会讨论最新的研究进展，并计划利用所有这些新工具的新合作。 美国国家科学基金会对这次会议的支持将提供资金，以帮助支付初级科学家和一些受邀的美国演讲者的旅费。
