Conference: Plant Receptor Signaling at Iowa State University.

2006年6月22日至25日在爱荷华州州立大学召开植物受体信号转导研讨会。受体是感知和响应刺激的关键分子，包括光、激素和发育信号，以及生物相互作用，如病原体和共生体。因此，这一主题是感兴趣的基础和应用植物研究人员。这次研讨会是由植物科学研究所主办的一个正在进行的系列的一部分。专题讨论会将邀请19位国际知名人士发言，并从提交的摘要中选出大约16个简短的演讲。此外，大会亦会安排海报及社交活动，以促进互动。会议主题包括光感受器，激素受体，生长和发育中的受体，生物相互作用中的受体，以及研究植物受体的基因组/蛋白质组学方法。教育活动将包括与研讨会相关的研究生1学分课程，以及帮助本科生了解科学的活动。将向学生提供旅行补助金，特别强调鼓励少数群体的参与。

A symposium on Plant Receptor Signaling will be held at Iowa State University on June22-25, 2006. Receptors are key molecules in the perception and response to stimuli,including light, hormones and developmental signals, and biotic interactions such aspathogens and symbionts. As such, this topic is of interest to basic and applied plantresearchers. This symposium is part of an ongoing series sponsored by the Plant SciencesInstitute. The symposium will feature 19 invited speakers of international renown, as wellas approximately 16 short talks selected from submitted abstracts. There will also be aposter session and social activities to promote interactions. Session topics will includePhotoreceptors, Hormone Receptors, Receptors in Growth and Development, Receptors inBiotic Interactions, and Genomic / Proteomic Approaches to Studying Plant Receptors.Educational activities will include a 1-credit course for graduate students associatedwith the symposium, and activities to assist undergraduates understand the science. Travelgrants will be made available to students, with particular emphasis on encouragingminority participation.
