The project's goal is a scientifically stimulating Gordon Research Conference on Plant Molecular Biology at the Holderness School in New Hampshire from July 13 to 18, 2008. The conference will bring together a range of plant scientists who are investigating basic plant cellular processes in a variety of plant species. The conference will focus on areas of plant research that are key to advancing both agriculture and a basic understanding of plant developmental and biochemical processes. For example, there will be sessions on metabolism, bioenergy, new methods to study genomes/proteomes and metabolomes, plant-microbe interactions, plant hormones, and epigenetics. This conference will bring together leaders as well as young scientists in a range of disciplines to exchange ideas, and to permit the participants to learn of the latest developments and ideas in diverse areas of plant biology. The broader impacts of this project are to foster progress in plant biology. The goal of fostering progress can be furthered by bringing together plant scientists to collectively discuss and explore areas outside of their narrow field of expertise. Hopefully the conference will result in the discovery of connections among diverse fields, which in turn will lead to collaborations and further scientific progress. This conference features several speakers at an early stage of their career, as well as opportunities for many more young scientists to interact with established scientists working in academic, government, and industrial laboratories. To encourage participation by junior scientists, additional speakers will be chosen from submitted abstracts, and all participants will have opportunities to present their research.

该项目的目标是从2008年7月13日至18日在新罕布什尔州的霍洛维茨学校举行一次科学刺激的戈登植物分子生物学研究会议。会议将汇集一系列植物科学家，他们正在研究各种植物物种的基本植物细胞过程。会议将重点关注植物研究领域，这些领域对于推进农业以及对植物发育和生化过程的基本了解至关重要。 例如，将有关于新陈代谢，生物能源，研究基因组/蛋白质组和代谢组的新方法，植物-微生物相互作用，植物激素和表观遗传学的会议。本次会议将汇集一系列学科的领导者和年轻科学家，交流思想，并让与会者了解植物生物学不同领域的最新发展和想法。 该项目的更广泛影响是促进植物生物学的进步。 促进进展的目标可以通过将植物科学家聚集在一起，共同讨论和探索其狭窄的专业领域之外的领域来进一步推进。 希望这次会议能够发现不同领域之间的联系，这反过来又会导致合作和进一步的科学进步。本次会议有几位发言人在他们的职业生涯的早期阶段，以及机会，让更多的年轻科学家与建立科学家在学术，政府和工业实验室工作的互动。为了鼓励年轻科学家的参与，将从提交的摘要中选择更多的演讲者，所有参与者都将有机会介绍他们的研究。
