This project aims to advance the scientific study of filamentous fungi. These eukaryotes serve as models for biology and are socially important as symbionts (mutualists, parasites and pathogens) and in industry (food, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacture, including enzymes important to conversion of plant biomass to transportation fuels). The project will feature research on the key programmatic areas of symbioses (mutualists and pathogens) and defense from virus and horizontally transferred DNA, areas of research new to filamentous fungi, fungal small RNA, fungal population genomics and systems biology, an area of current social importance, fungal conversion of plant biomass to transportation fuels, and the core areas of filamentous fungal cell and molecular biology. The meeting that is the focus of this project, the Gordon Research Conference on Cell and Molecular Fungal Biology, is unique among regularly scheduled meetings on filamentous fungi in that it is small, that it emphasizes discussions led by experienced researchers, that it consciously avoids duplication of topics with other meetings, and that it has an unusually large percentage of young scientists making oral presentations to the entire group. Support for this project is directed at these young scientists to ensure the future of biological research on these important microbes. The project aims to help train these young scientists in making effective presentations of their research, in networking with researchers globally, and in developing collaborative research projects. The project is certain to accelerate scientific progress by stimulating the transfer of information and the development of new research programs in a field that impacts socially important areas such as environmental quality, public health and food production.

该项目旨在推进丝状真菌的科学研究。这些真核生物作为生物学的模型，作为共生体（互利共生者，寄生虫和病原体）和工业（食品，化学和药物制造，包括将植物生物质转化为运输燃料的重要酶）具有重要的社会意义。该项目将重点研究共生（互利和病原体）和防御病毒和水平转移DNA的关键纲领领域，丝状真菌，真菌小RNA，真菌种群基因组学和系统生物学的新研究领域，当前社会重要性的领域，植物生物质的真菌转化为运输燃料，以及丝状真菌细胞和分子生物学的核心领域。会议是这个项目的重点，戈登研究会议细胞和分子真菌生物学，是独特的定期会议中丝状真菌，因为它是小，它强调由经验丰富的研究人员领导的讨论，它有意识地避免重复的主题与其他会议，它有一个不寻常的大比例的年轻科学家做口头报告给整个组。 对该项目的支持是针对这些年轻科学家的，以确保这些重要微生物的生物学研究的未来。该项目旨在帮助培训这些年轻的科学家，使他们的研究有效的介绍，在与全球研究人员联网，并在开发合作研究项目。该项目肯定会通过促进信息的传递和在影响环境质量、公共卫生和粮食生产等社会重要领域的新研究项目的开发来加速科学进步。
