This project will provide partial support to the 17th Biannual International Symposium on Plant Lipids, which will be held at East Lansing, Michigan from July 16-21, 2006. Research on plant lipids is vital and exciting with major new developments occurring in the areas of trafficking, subcellular organization, metabolic engineering, signaling, flux analysis, network regulation and other areas. As in many fields of plant biology and biochemistry, Arabidopsis has contributed enormously to rapid developments in the study of plant lipid metabolism. More recently, with the availability of the genomic information for plants and algae, there are several exciting new models to study lipid metabolism in an evolutionary context and in photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms adapted to extremely different ecological environments. It is proposed to address these and other newly emerging themes and opportunities in the plant lipid field during the upcoming 17th International Symposium on Plant Lipids. This project will provide: 1. partial support for registration and lodging costs for students, postdocs and other young scientists; 2. support for attendance of underrepresented minority scientists and researchers from minority-serving institutions. Broader ImpactsBeyond the need to foster the interaction between an internationally dispersed group of plant lipid scientists, the envisioned balanced program is designed to: break new ground in integrating plant lipid research with work from non-plant systems; to provide speaking opportunities and exposure for young scientists and underrepresented groups from inside the US and abroad; and to attract colleagues who would not attend the meeting either because they are from other fields or because they cannot afford to participate. Therefore, this project will allow a diverse and widely-representative meeting that will accelerate progress and new developments in plant lipid research. To ensure the broadest possible participation, efforts will be made to widely publicize this meeting to attract scientists from small and large colleges, universities and research centers as well as small and large biotech companies. All participants will be asked to provide a manuscript for the proceedings of the meeting which will be edited by the organizers and posted as a pdf file at the meeting website.

该项目将为2006年7月16日至21日在密歇根州东兰辛举行的第17届两年一度的植物脂质国际研讨会提供部分支持。对植物脂质的研究是至关重要和令人兴奋的，在运输，亚细胞组织，代谢工程，信号传导，流量分析，网络调节等领域出现了重大的新发展。与植物生物学和生物化学的许多领域一样，拟南芥对植物脂质代谢研究的快速发展做出了巨大贡献。最近，随着植物和藻类基因组信息的可用性，有几个令人兴奋的新模型来研究进化背景下的脂质代谢和适应极其不同生态环境的光合真核生物。建议在即将举行的第17届国际植物脂质研讨会期间解决这些和其他新出现的主题和机会。该项目将提供：1。部分资助学生、博士后和其他青年科学家的注册和住宿费用; 2.支持来自少数群体服务机构的代表性不足的少数群体科学家和研究人员出席。更广泛的影响除了需要促进国际分散的植物脂质科学家群体之间的互动，设想的平衡计划旨在：在整合植物脂质研究与非植物系统的工作方面开辟新天地;为年轻科学家和来自美国国内外的代表性不足的群体提供演讲机会和曝光;并吸引那些因来自其他领域或因无力参加而不愿参加会议的同事。因此，该项目将允许一个多样化和广泛代表性的会议，将加速植物脂质研究的进展和新的发展。为了确保尽可能广泛的参与，将努力广泛宣传这次会议，以吸引来自小型和大型学院、大学和研究中心以及小型和大型生物技术公司的科学家。所有与会者都将被要求提供会议记录的手稿，由组织者编辑并作为pdf文件张贴在会议网站上。
