Conference: Seventh FASEB Summer on 'Mechanisms in Plant Development'

0078115 Richards第七届FASEB夏季研究会议将于2000年8月12日至17日在佛蒙特州萨克顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。 本次会议将汇集生物学家研究植物发育机制，利用遗传，基因组和细胞生物学方法。 此外，理查兹博士计划重点介绍两个新兴领域：植物发育程序的进化，以及表观遗传调控对植物发育程序的影响，以及表观遗传调控对植物发育和形态的影响。除了简单地扩展一个成功的会议系列，理查兹博士认为，这次FASEB夏季研究会议可以发挥两个重要作用。 首先，会议将提供一个亲密的场所，有利于具有不同专长和观点的研究人员进行创造性的互动。 这一点尤其重要，因为分子遗传学研究的成熟和基因组资源的可用性带来了一种将生物化学和细胞生物学数据纳入更综合方法的趋势。 其次，FASEB会议将提供参加小型会议的机会，在那里年轻和更成熟的研究人员之间可以进行互动。 参加这种会议的机会越来越少，

0078115RichardsThe seventh FASEB Summer Research Conference on 'Mechanisms in Plant Development' will be held August 12-17, 2000 at the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont. This conference will bring together biologists studying plant developmental mechanisms using genetic, genomic and cell biological approaches. In addition, Dr. Richards plan to highlight two emerging areas: the evolution of plant developmental programs, and the impact of epigenetic regulation on plant developmental programs, and the impact of epigenetic regulation on plant development and morphology.Beyond simply extending a successful conference series, Dr. Richards believe that this FASEB Summer Research Conference can serve two important roles. First, the meeting will provide an intimate venue conducive to creative interaction among researchers with different expertise and perspectives. This is particularly important as the maturation of molecular genetic research and the availability of genomic resources usher in a movement towards more integrated approaches incorporating biochemical and cell biological data. Second, the FASEB conference will provide opportunity to attend a smaller meeting, where interaction between younger and more established researchers can occur. Opportunities to attend such conferences are becoming increasingly rare as the field of plant
