U.S. Japan Workshop on Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation

OISE-0554749（K. Dale诺埃尔，马奎特大学）美国-日本共生固氮研讨会这项提案来自马奎特大学的戴尔诺埃尔，他将组织一个美国-日本研讨会题为基因组学，分子机制和共生固氮的演变。该研讨会将于2006年8月15日至19日在日本东京郊外举行，由日本香川大学的Shigeyuki Tajima教授联合举办。包括至少5名研究生和博士后研究人员在内的16名美国与会者将与11名日本研究人员及其学生一起参加会议。会议将探讨以下主题：1）理解共生的细菌遗传学和基因组蛋白质组学方法; 2）植物-微生物协会的进化和水平系统发育分布; 3）共生发展过程中的生物化学和分子相互作用; 4）两种模式豆类的分子遗传学和基因组蛋白质组学; 5）从模式豆类到大豆和其他作物豆类。

OISE-0554749 (K. Dale Noel, Marquette University)U.S.-Japan Workshop on Symbiotic Nitrogen FixationThis proposal, from Dale Noel of Marquette University, will organize a U.S.-Japan workshop titled Genomics, Molecular Mechanisms and Evolution of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation. The workshop, jointly organized with Professor Shigeyuki Tajima of Kagawa University, will take place outside Tokyo, Japan on August 15-19, 2006. Sixteen U.S. participants, including at least five graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, will join 11 Japanese researchers and their students for the meeting. Meeting sessions will explore the following topics: 1) bacterial genetic and genomic-proteomic approaches to understanding symbiosis; 2) evolution and horizontal phylogenetic distribution of plant-microbe associations; 3) biochemistry and molecular interactions during symbiotic development; 4) molecular genetics and genomics-proteomics of two model legumes; and 5) from model legumes to soybean and other crop legumes.
