Mark Estelle, IOS 0813721, Auxin 2008: Biology of the Plant Hormone AuxinThe plant hormone auxin regulates virtually every aspect of plant growth and development including many agronomically important traits such as plant stature, seed development, and fruit development and ripening. During the last ten years, there has been dramatic and exciting progress in our understanding of auxin biology. Scientists around the globe have contributed to this rapidly developing field. In order to maintain this pace, it is essential that the members of the auxin community have opportunities to exchange and discuss their most recent results. In addition, it is very important to train the next generation of auxin biologists. The achieve these goals, the PI and his fellow organizers, have planned an international conference of scientists working on diverse aspects of auxin biology. The conference will be held on October 4th to 9th, 2008 in Marrakech Morroco. The program includes 39 speakers from 10 countries. Twenty-one percent of the speakers are women and 38% of the speakers are postdoctoral fellows or starting assistant professors. In addition, funds are available to support the attendance of graduate students. The conference will have broader impact in two areas. First, the active participation of graduate students and postdocs will make a significant contribution to their training. Second, the conference will promote cooperation and collaboration between scientists from the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Mark Estelle，IOS 0813721，生长素2008：植物激素生长素的生物学植物激素生长素调节植物生长和发育的几乎每个方面，包括许多农艺学上重要的性状，如植物身高，种子发育，果实发育和成熟。 在过去的十年里，我们对生长素生物学的理解有了戏剧性的和令人兴奋的进展。地球仪的科学家们为这个迅速发展的领域做出了贡献。为了保持这种速度，生长素社区的成员有机会交流和讨论他们的最新成果是至关重要的。此外，培养下一代生长素生物学家也非常重要。为了实现这些目标，PI和他的同事组织者计划召开一次国际科学家会议，研究生长素生物学的各个方面。会议将于2008年10月4日至9日在摩洛哥马拉喀什举行。该计划包括来自10个国家的39位演讲者。21%的演讲者是女性，38%的演讲者是博士后研究员或助理教授。此外，还提供资金支持研究生入学。会议将在两个领域产生更广泛的影响。首先，研究生和博士后的积极参与将对他们的培训做出重大贡献。第二，会议将促进美洲、欧洲、亚洲和非洲科学家之间的合作与协作。
