项目摘要

This award will provide support for a Gordon Research Conference on Plant-Herbivore Interaction to be held in Ventura, CA, February 24 - March 1, 2013. This conference focuses on emerging topics and features a mix of empirical and theoretical emphases. Sessions featuring talks and posters are discussion-oriented, allowing for lively interdisciplinary conversations to be initiated and continued throughout the meeting. The goal of the conference is to stimulate the production of critical insights into how plants defend themselves, ways in which herbivores overcome plant defenses, how other organisms, from microbes to predators, alter plant defenses and herbivore performance, and whether these species-specific interactions scale up to communities and landscapes. Research perspectives to be addressed include defense evolution in plants, the interplay between secondary metabolites and plant nutrients, the consequences of prior attack (induction) to plant defense expression and to the distribution and abundance of herbivores, microbial mediation of plant-herbivore-enemy interactions, and how shifts at the community or landscape level alter these interactions. Broader Impacts: The relaxed atmosphere of this conference is designed to generate stimulating interactions, lasting networks, and interdisciplinary collaborations. This award will be used to support the attendance of young scientists, including graduate students, post docs and assistant professors with efforts in place to recruit underrepresented minorities.

该奖项将为2013年2月24日至3月1日在加州文图拉举行的戈登植物-草食动物相互作用研究会议提供支持。本次会议的重点是新兴主题，并结合了实证和理论的重点。以演讲和海报为特色的会议以讨论为导向，允许在整个会议中发起并继续进行生动的跨学科对话。会议的目标是促进对植物如何保护自己的关键见解的产生，食草动物克服植物防御的方式，其他生物，从微生物到捕食者，如何改变植物防御和食草动物的表现，以及这些物种特异性的相互作用是否扩大到群落和景观。需要解决的研究视角包括植物的防御进化，次生代谢物与植物营养物质之间的相互作用，预先攻击（诱导）对植物防御表达的影响以及食草动物的分布和丰度，植物-食草动物-敌人相互作用的微生物调解，以及群落或景观水平的变化如何改变这些相互作用。更广泛的影响：本次会议的轻松氛围旨在产生刺激的互动，持久的网络和跨学科的合作。该奖项将用于支持年轻科学家的出席，包括研究生，博士后和助理教授，并努力招募代表性不足的少数民族。
