This award provides financial support for the conference entitled "Gene silencing: the biology of small RNAs and the epigenome", the 24th Symposium in Plant Biology at the University of California, Riverside, to be held January 18-20, 2007. In recent years, the importance of small RNAs to both plant and animal regulatory mechanisms governing development, physiology and responses to pathogens has been established. This conference will bring together plant scientists who have research interests in the mechanisms by which small RNAs influence gene expression. Plants possess numerous small RNAs and appear to extensively exploit small RNA pathways in various processes. The symposium comprises five major topics: (I) Small RNA biogenesis and action mechanisms; (II) Small RNA function in development; (III) Small RNA function in stress and other physiological processes; (IV) Transcriptional silencing and DNA methylation; (V) Transcriptional silencing and histone modifications. The scientific presentations will include both oral and poster sessions. Broader Impact: The structure of the symposium has designated slots for junior researchers, including graduate students, postdocs and early career investigators, to present their research findings. To encourage participation from young scientists and teachers from small colleges, travel assistance will be offered.

该奖项为将于 2007 年 1 月 18 日至 20 日在加州大学河滨分校举行的题为“基因沉默：小 RNA 生物学和表观基因组”的会议（第 24 届植物生物学研讨会）提供资金支持。近年来，小 RNA 对植物和动物调控发育、生理学和病原体反应的调控机制的重要性已得到证实。 本次会议将汇集对小 RNA 影响基因表达机制有研究兴趣的植物科学家。植物拥有大量小 RNA，并且似乎在各种过程中广泛利用小 RNA 途径。 会议包括五个主要议题：（一）小RNA的生物发生和作用机制； (II) 小RNA在发育中的功能； (III) 小RNA在应激和其他生理过程中的功能； (IV)转录沉默和DNA甲基化； (V)转录沉默和组蛋白修饰。 科学报告将包括口头会议和海报会议。 更广泛的影响：研讨会的结构为初级研究人员（包括研究生、博士后和早期职业研究人员）指定了展示他们的研究成果的时间。 为了鼓励小型学院的年轻科学家和教师参与，将提供交通援助。
