Patricia S SpringerProposal # 0841307Plants exhibit a wide range of morphological diversity and many morphological traits in plants are agronomically important. For example leaves, the primary photosynthetic structure in plants, exhibit tremendous variation in shape and size. The field of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) aims to understand how the developmental processes that control morphology have evolved. In the past few years, there have been extraordinary advances in this emerging field. Evo-devo studies extend the wealth of knowledge about developmental mechanisms in model plants to more distantly related plants, including crop plants, in order to understand how evolutionary events give rise to distinct morphologies and structures. Studies in evo-devo are beginning to uncover a greater understanding about the evolution of key morphological traits that can aid in enhancing crop productivity and yield. This proposal is for partial funding for the 25th Symposium in Plant Biology at the University of California, Riverside, "The Evolution of Plant Development", which will be held January 29 to 31, 2009. The aim of this conference is to bring together scientists using a wide range of approaches and at all career stages including undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and principal investigators, in order to provide a forum for sharing and discussing recent findings in the field of plant evo-devo. Each scientific session will include presentations from established scientists and early career scientists. Poster sessions will allow additional opportunities for scientific interactions. Ultimately, the synergism created at this meeting will stimulate plant evo-devo research and help to promote a comprehensive understanding of plant evolution and development.

Patricia S SpringerProposal #0841307植物表现出广泛的形态多样性，并且植物中的许多形态性状在农学上是重要的。例如，植物的主要光合结构叶在形状和大小上表现出巨大的变化。进化发育生物学（evo-devo）旨在了解控制形态的发育过程是如何进化的。在过去几年中，这一新兴领域取得了非凡的进展。进化发育研究将模式植物发育机制的丰富知识扩展到更远亲的植物，包括作物植物，以了解进化事件如何产生独特的形态和结构。进化-发育研究开始揭示对关键形态性状进化的更深入理解，这些性状有助于提高作物生产力和产量。该提案是为将于2009年1月29日至31日在加州大学滨江举行的第25届植物生物学研讨会“植物发育的演变”提供部分资金。 本次会议的目的是汇集科学家使用广泛的方法，并在所有职业阶段，包括本科生和研究生，博士后和主要研究人员，以提供一个论坛，分享和讨论在植物evo-devo领域的最新发现。每个科学会议将包括来自知名科学家和早期职业科学家的演讲。海报会议将为科学互动提供更多机会。最终，本次会议产生的协同效应将刺激植物进化发育研究，并有助于促进对植物进化和发育的全面了解。
