Auxin 2004 Conference: Crete, Greece May 2004

提要：Theologis(0422578)生长素是一种激素，控制植物的许多生长和发育过程。这项提议的目的是资助青年研究人员和研究生参加2004年5月22日至28日在克里特岛举行的生长素2004年会议的旅费和住宿费。会议将集中讨论生长素生物学的分子、遗传和发育方面的最新进展。讨论将涉及一系列模式生物，以及最新基因组技术在生长素研究中的应用。届时将有100-200名科学家出席，演讲者将包括该领域的领导者以及新的研究人员。演讲者中将有很大一部分是女性。将强调学生的参与。生长素2004是在过去四年中专门就生长素生物学举行的第二次国际会议。在这一研究领域，许多尖端植物科学正在进行，会议的氛围和规模应该会鼓励互动，从而促进进一步的卓越。

LAY ABSTRACT: Theologis (0422578)Auxin is a hormone and controls many growth and developmental processes in plants. The purpose of this proposal is to support travel and lodging expenses for young investigators and graduate students to attend the Auxin 2004 Conference in Crete on May 22-28, 2004. The meeting will focus on the latest advances in the molecular genetic and developmental aspects of auxin biology. Discussions will involve a range of model organisms, as well as the application of the latest genomics technologies to auxin research. There will be 100-200 scientists present, and the speakers will include leaders in the field, as well as new investigators. A large percentage of the speakers will be females. Student participation will be stressed. Auxin 2004 is the second international meeting held exclusively on auxin biology during the past four years. Much cutting-edge plant science is taking place in this area of research, and the ambience and small size of the meeting should encourage interactions that will promote further excellence.
