The 5th Meeting on Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Plant Gene: Expression to be held June 8-12, 2005 at the University of Texas at Austin.

第五届植物基因表达转录后调控研讨会(PTRoPGE)将于2005年6月8-12日在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行。令人兴奋的新发现和正在进行的发现表明，基因表达的显著调节发生在转录之后。植物中的这些转录后控制事件范围从转录基因的微妙调控和磷酸化，到通过小RNA进行基因调控的过程。本次会议将重点讨论RNA的调节作用，从转录、翻译到最终降解。这次会议的跨学科设计是必要的，以鼓励对植物转录后基因表达有共同兴趣的研究人员之间的互动。通过将来自世界各地的不同职业阶段的植物分子生物学家和生物化学家聚集在一起，这次会议将在了解植物基因组如何工作以及基因如何通过转录后过程精细调控以最终调节细胞方面取得更快的进展。

The 5th Symposium on Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Plant Gene Expression (PTRoPGE) will be held June 8-12, 2005 at the University of Texas at Austin. Exciting new and ongoing discoveries show significant regulation of gene expression occurs after transcription. These post-transcriptional control events in plants range from subtle regulation of transcribed genes and phosphorylation, to the processes of gene regulation through small RNAs. This meeting will focus on the regulatory role of RNA, from transcription, through translation and finally degradation. The cross-disciplinary design of this meeting is necessary to encourage interactions between researchers that have a common interest in post-transcriptional gene expression in plants. By bringing together a diverse group of plant molecular biologists and biochemists at all career stages from across the world, this meeting will bring about more rapid progress in understanding how plant genomes work and how genes are finely regulated by post-transcriptional processes to ultimately regulate cells.
