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

第17届宾夕法尼亚州立大学植物生理学研讨会将于2002年5月16日至18日在宾夕法尼亚州立大学举行，我们正在为受邀参加该研讨会的演讲者寻求旅费支持。这次研讨会的题目是“植物生殖：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许多代人非常感兴趣和兴趣的主题。近年来，我们对植物发育的认识不仅从分子遗传学研究，而且从进化和生理分析方面都有了长足的进展。本次会议的目的是为在植物生殖生物学不同领域工作的主要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，并在讨论中相互促进。该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次会议。除了邀请的演讲，我们预计会有大约50张由科学家、博士后研究人员和研究生贡献的总结当前研究的海报。在研讨会上提出的结果将总结在一份会议报告中，由一份主要的植物期刊发表。这次研讨会将为研究界提供宝贵的服务。据我们所知，没有任何其他专题讨论会以如此综合和全面的方式考虑过这一问题。通过将使用不同方法研究植物繁殖问题的科学家聚集在一起，研讨会将促进新的合作和实验方法，并将进一步刺激这一快速发展和增长的领域的进展。

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.
