The 2007 Plant Metabolic Engineering Gordon Conference & Graduate Research Seminar will take place July 15-20, 2007, at the Tilton School, Tilton, New Hampshire. Started in 2005 with a very successful gathering of over 130 scientists from all over the World, the conference will continue to provide a setting for developing multidisciplinary collaborations essential to unravel the dynamic complexity of plant metabolic networks and advance basic and applied research in plant metabolic engineering. Similar to the 2005 meeting, it is expected that the number of speakers and participants to number approximately 130-150 from the US and abroad, at all career levels, and represent institutions from academia, industry, private institutes, and federal laboratories. Concerted efforts to recruit women, persons with disabilities, and scientists from underrepresented groups as speakers and participants have been expanded. For instance, in addition to the 2007 GRC, a Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) in Plant Metabolic Engineering immediately before the GRC is developed, which may serve as a template for future meetings. The GRS provides a unique venue for junior scientists (Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows) to present their research in a more relaxed setting in front of their peers and is designed to reach out to under-represented groups of students and pre-professionals. The Gordon Conferences continue to be considered among the top scientific meetings worldwide, attracting top researchers in settings that are conducive to developing interactions and exploring new horizons. Participants to the GRS will be encouraged and expected to stay for the GRC, further enhancing the educational component of this conference. It is expected that the GRS will have a significant impact in attracting top junior scientists to the plant metabolic engineering field.

2007年植物代谢工程戈登会议暨研究生研究研讨会将于2007年7月15日至20日在新罕布什尔州蒂尔顿的蒂尔顿学院举行。从2005年开始，来自世界各地的130多名科学家成功地聚集在一起，会议将继续为发展多学科合作提供必要的环境，以揭示植物代谢网络的动态复杂性，并推进植物代谢工程的基础和应用研究。与2005年的会议类似，预计演讲者和参与者的数量将达到大约130-150人，来自美国和国外的所有职业水平，并代表来自学术界，工业界，私人机构和联邦实验室的机构。扩大了从代表性不足的群体中招募妇女、残疾人和科学家作为演讲者和参与者的协调努力。例如，除了2007年GRC之外，在GRC开发之前，植物代谢工程研究生研究研讨会（GRS）可以作为未来会议的模板。GRS为初级科学家（博士生和博士后）提供了一个独特的场所，让他们在一个更轻松的环境中在同龄人面前展示他们的研究，旨在接触到代表性不足的学生群体和pre-professionals。戈登会议继续被认为是全球顶级科学会议之一，在有利于发展互动和探索新视野的环境中吸引顶级研究人员。我们将鼓励并期望GRS的参与者在GRC期间留下，进一步加强本次会议的教育成分。预计GRS将对吸引顶尖的初级科学家进入植物代谢工程领域产生重大影响。
