The field of plant physiology has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of plant biology, for instance, insights into the processes of carbon assimilation and partitioning, nitrogen use efficiency, improvements in yield, the hormonal control of plant growth and development, perception of red/far-red light by phytochromes, and plant responses to drought and mineral deficiencies. While many of these processes have been well studied at the whole-plant level for decades, in some cases, mechanistic insights have been difficult to achieve. With the advent of genomic technologies over the last 15-20 years, new opportunities have arisen to address unresolved, long-standing questions in plant biology. The 2012 Interdisciplinary Plant Group Symposium to be held May 23-25, 2012 at the University of Missouri-Columbia will bring together a diverse group of international scholars studying fundamental biological processes in plants from varying disciplinary angles. The symposium is designed in such a way as to enhance networking opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and will create a venue to foster collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects for faculty and students. Funding provided by NSF will broaden participation by defraying the costs of participation of undergraduate students, particularly those from smaller and minority-serving institutions, as well as postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students with specific emphasis on women and underrepresented groups.

植物生理学领域为我们理解植物生物学做出了重要贡献，例如，深入了解碳同化和分配过程，氮利用效率，产量提高，植物生长和发育的激素控制，光敏色素对红光/远红光的感知，以及植物对干旱和矿物质缺乏的反应。虽然这些过程中的许多过程已经在整个工厂水平上进行了数十年的研究，但在某些情况下，很难实现机械见解。在过去的15-20年里，随着基因组技术的出现，出现了新的机会来解决植物生物学中悬而未决的长期问题。2012年跨学科植物小组研讨会将于2012年5月23日至25日在密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校举行，将汇集一批从不同学科角度研究植物基本生物过程的国际学者。研讨会的目的是为了加强研究生和博士后研究员的网络机会，并将创建一个场所，以促进教师和学生的合作和跨学科的研究项目。 国家科学基金会提供的资金将通过支付本科生，特别是来自规模较小和为少数群体服务的机构的本科生以及博士后研究员、研究生和本科生的参与费用，扩大参与范围，特别侧重于妇女和代表性不足的群体。
