Symposium: Plant Reproduction: From Evolutionary and Physiological Analyses to Molecular and Cellular Studies; May 16-18, 2002; State College, Pennsylvania

0131384Ma我们正在寻求对应邀参加将于2002年5月16日至18日在宾夕法尼亚州立大学举行的第17届宾夕法尼亚州立大学植物生理学研讨会的发言者的旅费的支持。这次研讨会的题目是“植物繁殖：从进化和生理分析到分子和细胞研究”。“植物生殖生物学一直是一个非常感兴趣的主题和阴谋了许多代。 近年来，人们对植物发育的认识不仅从分子遗传学的角度，而且从进化和生理学的角度都有了很大的进展。本次会议的目标是为在植物生殖生物学的不同领域工作的领先研究人员提供一个跨学科的论坛，以展示他们最近的发现，分享他们的想法，并在讨论中相互激励。研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的约20名杰出科学家，其中许多人由于其广泛的专业而不定期参加同一会议。除了受邀演讲外，我们预计还会收到大约50张海报，总结科学家、博士后研究人员和研究生的当前研究。研讨会上提出的结果将总结在一份会议报告中，由一家领先的植物杂志发表。这次研讨会将为研究界提供有价值的服务。我们不知道有任何其他专题讨论会以如此综合和全面的方式审议了这一议题。 通过汇集使用不同方法研究植物繁殖问题的科学家，研讨会将促进新的合作和实验方法，并将进一步促进这一快速发展和增长领域的进展。

0131384MaWe are seeking support for the travel costs of speakers invited to participate in the 17th Penn State Symposium in Plant Physiology to be held May 16-18, 2002 in State College, Pennsylvania. This symposium is entitled "Plant reproduction: from evolutionary and physiological analyses to molecular and cellular studies." Plant reproductive biology has been a subject of great interest and intrigue for many generations. In recent years, there have been very rapid advances in our understanding of plant development not only from molecular genetic studies, but also from evolutionary and physiological analyses. The goal of this meeting is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for leading researchers working in diverse areas of plant reproductive biology to present their recent findings, to share their ideas, and to stimulate each other in discussions. The symposium will bring together about 20 outstanding scientists from around the world, many of whom do not regularly attend the same meetings because of their wide-ranging specialties. In addition to the invited talks, we anticipate having approximately 50 contributed posters summarizing current research by scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. The results presented at the symposium will be summarized in a meeting report to be published by one of the leading plant journals. This symposium will provide a valuable service to the research community. We are not aware of any other symposia that have considered this topic in such an integrated and comprehensive manner. By bringing together scientists using different approaches to study the problems in plant reproduction, the symposium will facilitate novel collaborations and experimental approaches, and will further stimulate progress in this fast advancing and growing field.
