Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Course on Molecular Techniques in Plant Science

冷泉港实验室正在举办一个关于植物科学分子技术的夏季课程。这是一个为期3周的实验室和讲座相结合的课程，适用于从高级研究生到教师的学生。科学家来自大学、医学院、研究机构和工业界。实验室工作包括使用各种植物物种的项目，包括拟南芥，玉米，水稻，烟草和番茄，反映了许多美国和国际实验室当前的研究兴趣。该课程允许学生利用丰富的技术资源应用于植物独特的生物过程。他们将接触到几个系统的最新进展，包括遗传学，基因组学和比较研究。该课程旨在满足学术界和工业界对植物科学分子和遗传方法培训的持续需求。其目的是（1）向已经参与植物研究的科学家传授最先进的技术，以便他们能够将这些技术应用于自己的未来研究;（2）向熟悉微生物、动物或植物系统的科学家传授植物生物学的当前研究。该课程包括严格的系列讲座，动手实验室和各种研究工具的非正式研讨会。发言者将提供他们的专业和他们的工作深入讨论的概述。这些演讲者将是各种工厂系统的专家，并将为课程带来一系列技术专业知识。实验室课程提供了植物生物学现代技术的强化培训，并加强了讲座中学到的经验教训。

The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is giving a summer course on Molecular Techniques in Plant Science. This is a 3 week combined laboratory and lecture course for students ranging from advanced graduate student to faculty. Scientists come from universities, medical schools, research institutes and industry. Laboratory work includes projects using a wide variety of plant species, including Arabidopsis, maize, rice, tobacco and tomato, reflecting current research interests in many US and international laboratories. The course allows students to take advantage of a wealth of technological resources applied to biological processes that are unique to plants. They will be exposed to recent advances in several systems, including genetic, genomic and comparative studies. The course is designed to fulfill a continuing demand within the academic community and industry for training in molecular and genetic approaches to plant science. The intention is (1) to teach state of the art techniques to scientists already involved in plant research so that they can apply these technologies to their own future research and (2) to teach scientists familiar with microbial, animal or plant systems about current research in plant biology. The course consists of a rigorous lecture series, a hands-on laboratory and informal workshops on a variety of research tools. Speakers will provide both an overview of their specialty and an in-depth discussion of their work. These speakers will be experts in a variety of plant systems, and will bring a range of technical expertise to the course. The laboratory sessions provide an intensive training in modern techniques in plant biology and reinforce the lessons learned in lectures.
