Conference: The 20th Penn State Plant Biology Symposium: Plant Stress-Omics in a Changing Climate to be held at Penn State University, College Park, PA from May 13-16, 2015

第20届宾夕法尼亚州立大学植物生物学研讨会将集中讨论“气候变化中的植物压力组学”这一重要议题。全体会议的重点是水和盐度，大气（温度，二氧化碳，臭氧），生物/非生物的相互作用和使用新的工具。会议于2015年5月13日至16日在宾夕法尼亚州立大学大学公园举行。将有两个正式的海报和两个简短的谈话会议，以特色的研究，从有才华的年轻科学家。 会议包括一个令人印象深刻的干部美国和国际发言人。在扩大参与方面，组委会和演讲者名单似乎是平衡的。研讨会讨论了植物生物学的一个重要主题，即植物如何应对日益增加的环境压力。特别值得注意的是，计划在会议之前举办一个讲习班，提供新的质谱方法方面的培训。这些方法是必要的，以确定代谢组学的变化，以应对各种环境压力。 该会议是学生和博士后确定未来导师的理想论坛，也是建立有意义的合作的科学家的理想论坛。

The 20th Penn State plant Biology Symposium will focus on the important topic of "Plant Stress-Omics in a Changing Climate". Plenary sessions are focused on water and salinity, atmosphere (temperature, CO2, ozone), biotic/abiotic interactions and the use of novel tools. The conference is held at Penn State University, University Park takes place May 13-16, 2015. There will be two formal poster and two short talk sessions to feature research from talented junior scientists. The conference includes an impressive cadre of US and international speakers. The organizing committee and speaker list seems balanced in terms of broadening participation.The workshop addresses an important topic in Plant Biology, namely how plants deal with increasing environmental stresses. Particularly noteworthy is a planned workshop preceding the meeting to provide training in novel mass spectrometric methods. These methods are necessary to determine metabolomics changes in response to various environmental stresses. The meeting is an ideal forum for students and postdocs to identify future mentors, and for established scientists to forge meaningful collaborations.
