ABSTRACTGordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism, and FunctionPI: Ruth Welti, Kansas State UniversityCo-PI: Edgar Cahoon, University of NebraskaIntellectual MeritThe 2013 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism, and Function, to be held January 27 to February 1, 2013 at the Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas, is being organized by the GRC, an organization internationally known for high-quality, cutting-edge meetings. The program for the meeting is assembled around the theme of "Emerging and advancing research areas in plant lipid metabolism and signaling". Presentations will focus on elucidation of lipid signaling and lipid metabolic mechanisms, strategies to enhance production of economically important plant products, and new lipid imaging strategies. The GRC on Plant Lipids brings together experts working to create and disseminate new research tools, discovering fundamental paradigms for lipid-mediated regulation of development, physiology, and stress responses and developing new understanding of lipid storage and homeostasis. Formal and informal interactions throughout the conference will stimulate new research directions and provide the basis for collaborative interactions to advance fundamental research into plant lipid structure, metabolism, and function. For the first time, a pre-conference Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), planned for January 26-27, 2013 at the same location, is being organized by investigators at the graduate student and postdoctoral levels for investigators at those levels. Activities during the seminar are intended to provide (1) background that will enhance understanding of science presented at the subsequent conference, (2) opportunities to share research and to network with peers and experts in the field, and (3) peer and expert feedback and supportive suggestions about ongoing research. NSF support of the GRC and GRS will partially defray registration fees for 16 graduate student and postdoctoral researchers who will present their research at one or both meetings.Broader ImpactsScientific talks, poster presentations, get-togethers, and discussion at the 2013 GRC and GRS on Plant Lipids will stimulate new research directions and provide underpinnings for collaborative interactions that advance the study of lipid structure, metabolism, and function, leading to practical applications, such as improved plant production and increased seed oil quality and quantity. The GRS will offer a concentrated opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees to network and learn. The GRS will include a thought-provoking session on mentoring that will encourage participants to consider new ideas for effectively receiving and providing mentoring. The proportion of women among the invited speakers and discussion leaders (29%) at the GRC exceeds the proportion of women who attended the 2011 conference (26%). Because conference participation is an important facet of inclusion in the research community, the GRC and GRS will employ a diverse, international committee with 5 women in its 8 members, to seek additional speakers from among those submitting abstracts, with positive consideration of under-represented status. Fiscal support for registration will increase participation of students and postdoctoral trainees who present their research at the GRC and GRS. Participating as a presenter and interacting with other scientists in the supportive atmosphere of the GRS and GRC provides an excellent opportunity for beginning researchers to develop a strong network of peers and senior colleagues, while increasing scientific breadth and depth. This opportunity for young researchers should aid in their retention and success in scientific endeavors, providing long term benefit to society.

戈登研究会议和戈登植物脂研究研讨会：结构、代谢和功能PI：堪萨斯州立大学Ruth Welti合作：内布拉斯加州大学Edgar Cahoon智力价值2013年戈登植物脂研究会议(GRC)将于2013年1月27日至2月1日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿的Galvez酒店举行，由GRC组织，GRC是一个以高质量、尖端会议而闻名的组织。会议的日程安排围绕“植物脂肪代谢和信号方面的新兴和前沿研究领域”这一主题展开。报告将集中于阐明脂信号和脂代谢机制，提高重要经济植物产品生产的策略，以及新的脂类成像策略。植物脂类GRC汇集了致力于创建和传播新的研究工具的专家，发现了脂类调节发育、生理和应激反应的基本范式，并发展了对脂类储存和动态平衡的新理解。整个会议的正式和非正式互动将激发新的研究方向，并为协作互动提供基础，以推进对植物脂肪结构、代谢和功能的基础研究。计划于2013年1月26日至27日在同一地点举行的会议前戈登研究研讨会(GRS)首次由研究生和博士后级别的调查人员为这些级别的调查人员组织。研讨会期间的活动旨在提供(1)将在随后的会议上介绍的将加强对科学的理解的背景，(2)与该领域的同行和专家分享研究和建立网络的机会，以及(3)同行和专家对正在进行的研究的反馈和支持性建议。NSF对GRC和GRS的支持将部分支付16名研究生和博士后研究人员的注册费，他们将在一次或两次会议上展示他们的研究成果。广泛的影响2013年GRC和GRS关于植物脂肪的科学演讲、海报演示、聚会和讨论将刺激新的研究方向，并为协作互动提供基础，促进对脂肪结构、新陈代谢和功能的研究，从而导致实际应用，如提高植物产量和增加种子油的质量和数量。GRS将为研究生和博士后实习生提供一个集中的网络和学习机会。GRS将包括一个关于指导的发人深省的会议，鼓励参与者考虑有效接受和提供指导的新想法。GRC的受邀发言者和讨论负责人中的女性比例(29%)超过了出席2011年会议的女性比例(26%)。由于参与会议是纳入研究界的一个重要方面，GRC和GRS将雇用一个多元化的国际委员会，由8名成员中的5名女性组成，从提交摘要的人中寻找更多的发言者，并积极考虑代表不足的地位。对注册的财政支持将增加学生和博士后实习生的参与，他们在GRC和GRS展示他们的研究。在GRS和GRC的支持气氛中，作为演讲者参与并与其他科学家互动，为初级研究人员提供了一个极好的机会，以发展同行和资深同事之间的强大网络，同时增加科学的广度和深度。年轻研究人员的这一机会应该有助于他们在科学努力中保持并取得成功，为社会提供长期利益。
