Conference: 2014 Plant Cell Dynamics Meeting. June 4-7, Madison Wisconsin.

会议：2014植物细胞动力学会议。2014年6月4日至7日，威斯康星州麦迪逊。有必要发展知识库，以便合理设计改良作物品种。实现这一目标需要了解植物细胞如何将其细胞成分的行为与代谢以及细胞形状和大小相结合，不仅在植物的生长和发育过程中，而且在植物对环境挑战的反应中。本次会议强调本科生、研究生和博士后学生（包括代表性不足的群体成员）的参与，并将为18名与会者提供支持。这次关于植物细胞动力学的会议旨在促进活细胞成像、图像量化、信号处理和计算模拟的创新方法的使用，以获得对植物细胞系统的机制理解。会议将为植物细胞生物学家提供机会，讨论他们最新的研究成果，发展合作，获得当前最先进方法的实践经验，并促进新工具的开发，从而推进这一目标。会议将为口头报告提供一个开放的论坛，并促进已有的研究人员和该领域的新来者之间的讨论和互动。该奖项由分子和细胞生物科学部的细胞动力学和功能集群以及综合有机系统部的共生、防御和自我识别项目共同支持。

Conference: 2014 Plant Cell Dynamics Meeting. Madison Wisconsin, June 4-7 2014. There is a need to develop the knowledge base that will enable the rational design of improved crop species. The attainment of this goal requires an understanding of how plant cells integrate the behavior of their cellular components with their metabolism and with cell shape and size not only during the growth and development of the plant but also in the response of the plant to environmental challenges. This meeting emphasizes the participation of students (including members of under-represented groups) at the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral level and will provide support for 18 attendees.This meeting on plant cell dynamics seeks to promote the use of innovative methods for live cell imaging, image quantification, signal processing, and computational simulations in order to gain a mechanistic understanding of plant cellular systems. The meeting will advance this goal by providing opportunities for plant cell biologists to discuss their latest research results, develop collaborations, gain hands-on experience with current state-of-the art approaches, and by promoting the development of new tools. The meeting will provide an open forum for oral presentations and promote discussion and interaction between established investigators and newcomers to the field.This award is supported jointly by the Cellular Dynamics and Function Cluster in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences and by the Symbiosis, Defense and Self Recognition Program in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems.
