The 20th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) will take place from June 30th to July 4th 2009 in Scotland at the Edinburgh International Conference Center. The PI requests funds to support attendance of young researchers and participants from minority-serving institutions. The annual ICAR brings together approximately 1,000 participants. Arabidopsis serves an outstanding model system due to the numerous and varied experimental tools in functional genomics that are available. The transfer of knowledge from Arabidopsis to other plant species, and beyond to other organisms including humans, is increasing due to the efforts of the research community and the leveraging of advances and resources. This conference provides an opportunity for the exchange of ideas among the numerous and diverse researchers of the international Arabidopsis community and beyond to the larger plant community. This year's conference will include a number of speakers whose research involves wheat, rice, maize, and barley. The conference will include a broad range of important and current topics: Genome Organization/The RNA World, Development, Cell Biology, Systems Biology, Signaling in Development, Bioenergy, Environmental Responses, Plant Defense, Plant Growth Regulators, Natural Variation, Hot Topics and Novel Tools/Resources. Important components of the conference include the presentation of current research by approximately 90 speakers (both invited and from selected abstracts) and 600 posters as well as several community organized workshops where smaller groups can explore more specific topics in greater detail. Broader Impact A particular strength of the ICAR lies in its ability to enhance the exchange of information at the forefront of Arabidopsis research worldwide, creating new networks and collaborations. The conference program and abstracts will be publicly available on the conference website and permanently archived. The ICAR also has a long and successful history of being inclusive of young scientists as well as women and minorities. Support of this year's proposal will provide full funding for several underrepresented US minorities and/or faculty as well as partial funding of travel expenses for additional young domestic faculty, postdoctoral scholars, or graduate students. A special luncheon to acknowledge recipients of US-sponsored minority funding and to establish an informal networking venue as well as an "Emerging Scientists Luncheon" is planned. Many of the oral presentations at the sessions and workshops will be given by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty. This will promote the training of students and postdocs and provide important opportunities for career development. The conference program and abstracts will be publicly available on the conference website and permanently archived at TAIR (http://www.arabidopsis.org/news/abstracts.jsp).

第20届拟南芥研究国际会议（ICAR）将于2009年6月30日至7月4日在苏格兰爱丁堡国际会议中心举行。PI要求资金支持来自少数民族服务机构的年轻研究人员和参与者的出席。一年一度的ICAR汇集了大约1000名参与者。由于在功能基因组学中有许多不同的实验工具，拟南芥是一个杰出的模型系统。由于研究界的努力以及对进步和资源的利用，从拟南芥到其他植物物种以及其他生物包括人类的知识转移正在增加。本次会议为国际拟南芥界和更大的植物界众多不同的研究人员提供了一个交流思想的机会。今年的会议将包括一些演讲者，他们的研究涉及小麦、水稻、玉米和大麦。会议将包括广泛的重要和当前的主题：基因组组织/ RNA世界，发育，细胞生物学，系统生物学，发育中的信号传导，生物能源，环境反应，植物防御，植物生长调节剂，自然变异，热点话题和新工具/资源。会议的重要组成部分包括由大约90名发言者（包括邀请的和来自选定摘要的）介绍当前的研究和600张海报，以及几个社区组织的讲习班，其中较小的小组可以更详细地探讨更具体的主题。ICAR的一个特别优势在于它能够加强全球拟南芥研究前沿的信息交流，创建新的网络和合作。会议日程和摘要将在会议网站上公开，并永久存档。ICAR在包容年轻科学家、妇女和少数民族方面也有着悠久而成功的历史。支持今年的提案将为几个代表性不足的美国少数民族和/或教师提供全额资助，并为额外的年轻国内教师，博士后学者或研究生提供部分旅费资助。计划举办一个特别的午餐会，以表彰美国资助的少数族裔资助的接受者，并建立一个非正式的交流场所以及一个“新兴科学家午餐会”。许多会议和研讨会上的口头报告将由研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教师进行。这将促进学生和博士后的培养，并为职业发展提供重要的机会。会议日程和摘要将在会议网站上公开，并永久存档于TAIR （http://www.arabidopsis.org/news/abstracts.jsp）。
