Conference: Plant Receptor Signaling at Iowa State University.

关于植物受体信号的研讨会将于2006年6月22-25日在爱荷华州立大学举行。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，以及病原体和共生菌等生物相互作用。因此，基础和应用植物研究人员对这一课题很感兴趣。这次研讨会是植物科学研究所正在进行的一系列活动的一部分。研讨会将邀请19位国际知名的演讲者，以及从提交的摘要中挑选出约16个简短的演讲。还将举行使徒会议和社会活动，以促进互动。课程主题包括光感受器、激素感受器、生长和发育中的感受器、生物相互作用中的感受器，以及研究植物感受器的基因组/蛋白质组学方法。教育活动将包括与专题讨论会相关的研究生一学分课程，以及帮助本科生理解科学的活动。将向学生提供旅费补助，特别强调鼓励少数群体参与。

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.
