Meeting: Keystone Symposia on "Plant Abiotic Stress and Sustainable Agriculture" to be held in Taos, NM from January 17 - 22, 2013

迫切需要增加全球农作物产量，以满足不断增长的人口对粮食、纤维和生物燃料的需求。Keystone植物非生物胁迫和可持续农业专题讨论会的主要焦点将是研究如何在极端环境下改造作物以提高生产力，例如极端的水可用性和温度、盐度、营养缺乏以及与全球气候变化相关的其他因素。这笔经费用于支持研究生参加这次会议。

There is an urgent need to increase global crop production to meet the food, fiber and bio-fuel demands of our growing population. The major focus of the Keystone Symposia meeting on Plant Abiotic Stress and Sustainable Agriculture will investigate how crops can be modified to enhance productivity in extreme environments, such as the extremes in water availability and temperature, salinity, nutrient deficiency and other factors associated with global climate change. This grant supports the participation of graduate students at this meeting.
