0240188LeachThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan joint seminar on genomic and genetic analysis of plant parasitism and defense to be held in Shizuoka, Japan from November 3-7, 2003. The co-organizers are Professor Jan Leach at Kansas State University and Professor Shinji Tsuyumu at Shizuoka University in Japan. The meeting will bring together research scientists from the U.S. and Japan, two countries where important and exciting progress in this area of science is being undertaken. With the advent of new genomic tools and the use of these tools in combination with classic genetic tools and resources, the progress toward deciphering the molecular basis of plant-microbe interactions is rapidly accelerating. Discussions will focus on advances made in two intimately linked areas of plant-pathogen interactions, i.e., pathogen virulence and avirulence and host recognition and response. The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best biological scientists to participate. The seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve postdocs and graduate students as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar the organizers plan to establish a workshop web page. Conference proceedings will be published on this web site and also as a book.

该奖项支持美国科学家参加2003年11月3日至7日在日本静冈举行的关于植物寄生和防御的基因组和基因分析的美日联合研讨会。联合组织者是堪萨斯州立大学的简·利奇教授和日本静冈大学的津治教授。这次会议将汇集来自美国和日本的研究科学家，这两个国家在这一科学领域取得了重要和令人兴奋的进展。随着新的基因组工具的出现以及这些工具与经典遗传工具和资源的结合使用，破译植物-微生物相互作用的分子基础的进展正在迅速加快。讨论将集中在植物-病原菌相互作用的两个密切相关领域的进展，即病原菌毒力和无毒以及寄主识别和反应。联合组织者在该领域拥有互补的科学专业知识。这使他们能够评估并吸引最好的生物科学家参与。研讨会组织者特别努力，让博士后和研究生既作为参与者，又作为观察员。与该领域的日本专家交换想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进他们自己的工作，并将为未来的合作项目奠定基础。研讨会结束后，组织者计划建立一个研讨会网页。会议记录将在本网站上出版，也将作为一本书出版。
