In recent years the field of ethylene biology has been strongly and positively impacted by genomics approaches and represents an area with many opportunities to translate genomics into practical real-world products and solutions. The 8th International Symposium on the Plant Hormone Ethylene to be held June 21 - 25, 2009 at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY will provide a forum for discussion and collaboration for the highly interactive and competitive ethylene community and is anticipated to draw a diverse group of participants that include plant scientists from the public and private sector and breeders from around the world. Topics include but are not limited to 1) hormone synthesis and signal transduction, 2) biotic and abiotic stress responses, 3) ripening and senescence, and 4) postharvest physiology and applied ethylene biology. The participation of graduate students, postdoctoral and beginning investigators will be fostered through travel awards to attend the Symposium. Funding provided by NSF will be used to broaden participation of young scientists and those from underrepresented groups from the US scientific community. Symposium program and abstracts will be publicly available online at the symposium website (http://www.hort.cornell.edu/ethylene/) and through a program book of abstracts that will be distributed to meeting attendees.

近年来，乙烯生物学领域受到基因组学方法的强烈和积极的影响，并代表了一个有许多机会将基因组学转化为实际的现实世界产品和解决方案的领域。第八届植物激素乙烯国际研讨会将于2009年6月21日至25日在纽约州伊萨卡的康奈尔大学举行，将为高度互动和竞争的乙烯社区提供一个讨论和合作的论坛，预计将吸引包括来自公共和私营部门的植物科学家以及来自世界各地的育种者在内的不同群体的参与者。主题包括但不限于1)激素合成和信号转导，2)生物和非生物应激反应，3)成熟和衰老，以及4)采后生理学和应用乙烯生物学。研究生、博士后和初级研究人员将通过旅行奖励来鼓励他们参加研讨会。NSF提供的资金将用于扩大年轻科学家和来自美国科学界代表性不足群体的科学家的参与。研讨会计划和摘要将在研讨会网站（http://www.hort.cornell.edu/ethylene/）上公开发布，并通过将分发给与会者的摘要计划手册发布。
