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 As befits a GRC, all speakers must present their very latest, unpublished findings, and be bold in proposing novel concepts and unanswered questions that help to define where the science is headed in the future.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.

项目摘要本提案要求为将于 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：基因组到生物群落”（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。该国际 GRC 自 1976 年以来每三年举行一次，并在美国和美国的地点轮流举行。 欧洲.智力优势：本次 GRC 的具体重点、亲密性、对广泛、前瞻性思维的强调、非正式讨论及其地位，是该领域相关会议所没有的。 2002 年的会议获得了所有 GRC 的最高评价之一，并选出了由 Drs. 组成的国际组委会。 George Bowes（佛罗里达大学）和 Susanne von Caemmerer（澳大利亚国立大学）作为联合主席，Michael Salvucci 博士（美国农业部亚利桑那州农业研究局）和 Anne Borland（英国纽卡斯尔大学）作为副主席，制定了一项及时且智力刺激的计划，以效仿该会议的成功。与本次 GRC 和该领域科学进步的最新趋势一致，它旨在综合性并鼓励与会者超越其特定研究兴趣进行思考。它还将向参与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业知识的同事提供接触机会。该计划由 9 个正式会议和 4 个海报投稿会议组成（参见 GRC 网站 http://www.grc.org/programs/2005/co2.htm 和 2005 年 2 月 4 日出版的《科学》杂志）。因此，在光合作用二氧化碳同化的总主题下，该计划以光合作用和全球气候变化的会议开始：大局（会议1）；继续讨论二氧化碳进入光合生物体及其调节方式（第 2、3 部分）；主要二氧化碳固定酶的调节进展（第 4 部分）；固定碳的利用以及 C4 和 CAM 植物中的基因调控，包括单细胞 C4 系统及其进化和农业意义（第 5、6 场）；一场强调早期职业植物生物学家的工作和最新发现的会议（第 7 场）；适用于光合作用研究的新技术（第8场）；以及关于信号基因组学的特色宴会后总结演讲（会议 9）。按照 GRC 的规定，所有演讲者都必须展示他们最新的、未发表的发现，并大胆提出新颖的概念和未解答的问题，以帮助确定科学的未来发展方向。整个会议专门讨论职业生涯早期的科学家以及从最佳摘要和最新文献中选出的最新成果。因此，这一适度资助请求的目标是为会议参加者，特别是早期职业植物科学家，包括博士后、研究生和高年级本科生以及新晋 PI 提供会议费用和/或差旅费支持。演讲者和讨论领袖的选择是根据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：初级科学家的参与将为他们带来巨大的专业利益和鼓励，因为他们有机会与该领域的知名领导者建立联系。它还增强了本次 GRC 的活力和前沿性，第七次会议的成功取决于此。该 GRC 深入研究了实验植物生物学领域令人兴奋的进展，该领域与正在经历大气二氧化碳快速富集和相关气候变化的世界所面临的环境和农业问题直接相关。
