Auxin 2004 Conference: Crete, Greece May 2004

摘要：植物生长素是一种激素，控制着植物的许多生长发育过程。本提案的目的是为参加2004年5月22日至28日在克里特岛举行的生长素2004会议的年轻研究人员和研究生提供旅费和住宿费。会议将集中讨论生长素生物学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，以及最新基因组学技术在生长素研究中的应用。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。很大比例的演讲者将是女性。学生的参与将被强调。生长素2004是近四年来第二次专门讨论生长素生物学的国际会议。许多尖端的植物科学正在这一领域进行研究，会议的氛围和小规模应该鼓励互动，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.
