2005 CO2 Assimilation in Plants: Genome to Biome Gordon Conference,European GRC site Centre Paul Langevin in Aussois, France on September 11-16, 2005

项目摘要本提案要求对将于2005年9月11日至16日在法国Aussois的欧洲GRC中心Paul Langevin举行的题为"植物中的CO2同化：基因组到生物组"（以前称为"绿色植物中的CO2固定和代谢"）的戈登研究会议（GRC）提供补充支持。这一国际性的研讨会自1976年以来每三年举行一次，在美国和欧洲的地点轮流举行。学术价值：这一研讨会的具体重点，亲密关系，强调广泛的，前瞻性的思考，非正式的讨论，以及它的地位，在这一领域的相关会议上是不重复的。2002年的会议获得了所有GRCs和当选的国际组织委员会的最高评价之一，该委员会由乔治鲍斯博士组成（佛罗里达大学）和苏珊娜·冯·凯默勒（澳大利亚国立大学）作为共同主席，Michael Salvucci博士（USDA-ARS Arizona）和Anne Borland（英国纽卡斯尔大学）作为副主席，制定了一个及时和智力刺激方案，以效仿该会议的成功。与最近的趋势一致，在这个GRC和该领域的先进科学，它的目的是综合和鼓励与会者认为超出他们的具体研究兴趣。它还将向与会者介绍他们可能使用的最新技术，并将向具有开发和使用这些技术专门知识的同事提供机会。该方案包括九次正式会议和四次投稿海报会议（见GRC网站http：//www.grc.org/programs/2005/co2.htm和2005年2月4日的《科学》杂志）。因此，在光合作用CO2同化的总主题下，该计划以光合作用和全球气候变化的会议开始：大画面（会议1）;它继续与二氧化碳进入光合生物和它是如何调制（会议2，3）;主要CO2固定酶的调节进展（第4部分）; C4和CAM植物中固定碳的利用和基因调控，包括单细胞C4系统及其进化和农业意义（会议5，6）;一个会议强调了早期职业植物生物学家的工作和最新的发现（第7节）;适用于光合作用研究的新技术（第8节）;以及关于信号基因组学的特色宴会后总结报告（第9节）。作为一个适合的GRC，所有发言者必须提出他们最新的，未发表的发现，并大胆提出新的概念和未回答的问题，有助于确定科学在未来的发展方向。整个会议是专门为早期的职业科学家和热小康的新闻结果选择了最好的摘要和最近的文献。因此，这个适度的资金请求的目标是为会议参与者提供会议费和/或差旅费的支持，特别是早期职业植物科学家，包括博士后，研究生和高级本科生，以及开始PI。演讲者和讨论领导者的选择是基于他们的研究质量和影响力，并提供多样化的想法，国籍，性别，种族，职业阶段和工作场所。更广泛的影响：年轻科学家的参与将通过提供与该领域知名领导者建立联系的机会，对他们产生巨大的专业利益和鼓励。它还增强了本研讨会的动态性和前沿性，第7次会议的成功取决于此。本研讨会深入研究了实验植物生物学领域的令人兴奋的进展，这些进展直接关系到正在经历快速大气CO2富集和气候相关变化的世界所面临的环境和农业问题。

Project SummaryThis proposal requests supplemental support for the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) entitled CO2 Assimilation in Plants: Genome to Biome(formerly CO2 Fixation and Metabolism in Green Plants) to be held at the European GRC site Centre Paul Langevin in Aussois, France on September 11-16, 2005. This international GRC has occurred on a triennial basis since 1976, and alternates between sites in the US and Europe.Intellectual Merit: The specific focus of this GRC, intimacy, emphasis on extensive, orward thinking, off-the-record discussion, and its stature, are not duplicated by related conferences in this field. The 2002 conference received one of the highest evaluations of all GRCs and the elected, international organizing committee, comprised of Drs. George Bowes (University of Florida) and Susanne von Caemmerer (Australian National University) as Co-Chairs, and Drs.Michael Salvucci (USDA-ARS Arizona) and Anne Borland (University of Newcastle, UK) as Vice-Chairs, has developed a timely and intellectually stimulating program to emulate that meeting's success. Consistent with recent trends in this GRC and in the field's advancing science, it is designed to be integrative and to encourage conferees to think beyond their specific research interests. It will also introduce participants to the latest technologies that they might use, and will give access to colleagues with expertise in developing and using these technologies. The program consists of nine formal sessions and four contributed poster sessions (see the GRC website http://www.grc.org/programs/2005/co2.htm, and the February 4th, 2005 issue of Science). Thus, under the general theme of photosynthetic CO2-assimilation, the program starts with a session on photosynthesis and global climate change: the big picture (Session 1); it continues with CO2 entry into photosynthetic organisms and how it is modulated (Sessions 2, 3);advances in regulation of the primary CO2 fixation enzymes (Session 4); the utilization of fixed carbon, and gene regulation in C4 and CAM plants, including single-cell C4 systems and their evolutionary and agricultural significance (Sessions 5, 6); a session highlighting the work of early-career plant biologists and late-breaking findings (Session 7); new technologies applicable to photosynthesis research (Session 8); and a featured, after-banquet, wrap-up presentation on the genomics of signaling (Session 9). As befits a GRC, all speakers must present their very latest, unpublished findings, and be bold in proposing novel concepts and unanswered questions that help to define where the science is headed in the future. An entire session is devoted to early-career scientists and hot-off-the-press results selected from the best abstracts and recent literature. Thus the goal of this modest funding request is to provide support toward conference fee and/or travel costs for conference participants, especially early-career plant scientists, including postdocs, graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and beginning PIs. Speakers and discussion leaders were selected based on their research quality and impact, and to provide a diversity of ideas, nationality, gender, ethnicity, career-stage, and work-place.Broader impacts: The participation of junior scientists will be of immense professional benefit and encouragement to them by providing the opportunity to network with established leaders in the field. It also enhances the dynamic, cutting-edge nature of this GRC and the success of Session 7 depends upon it. This GRC delves into exciting advances in a field of experimental plant biology that directly relates to environmental and agricultural issues faced by a world that is undergoing rapid atmospheric CO2 enrichment and associated changes in the climate.
