Lay AbstractThere is a strong need to develop the knowledge base that will enable the rational design of improved crop species. To attain this goal we must learn how plant cells integrate metabolism, cytoskeletal organization, and vesicle trafficking during growth and in response to environmental challenges. The focus of this meeting is unique, and seeks to promote the use of innovative methods for live cell imaging, image quantification, signal processing, and computational simulations. All participants will network, have the opportunity to present posters, and many early career scientists will have opportunities for oral presentations. Student and post-doc presentations will be geared toward teaching all participants basic methodology as well as data interpretation.Technical AbstractThere is a growing core of plant cell biologists that seek to better understand the underlying mechanisms of organelle and cell dynamics, who share similar technical challenges to meet their research goals. The group as a whole seeks to find the most effective ways to employ combinations of quantitative imaging techniques, biochemical techniques, and computational tools to gain a mechanistic understanding of plant cellular systems. Meeting these goals will require development, implementation and training of faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students in state-of-the-art quantitative cell biology methods. The Midwest Plant Cell Biology meeting provides the opportunity for plant cell biologists to discuss their latest research, develop collaborations, gain hands-on experience with current state-of-the-art approaches, and to promote the development of new tools that will accelerate mechanistic analyses of cell dynamics. The focus of this meeting is unique, and seeks to promote the use of innovative methods for live cell imaging, image quantification, signal processing, and computational simulations. This year's meeting features useful workshops on high-resolution light and electron microscopy. The keynote speakers for the 2015 meeting are recognized experts in the analysis of organ and cell and cell growth. All participants will network, have the opportunity to present posters, and many early career scientists will have opportunities for oral presentations. The specific objectives in terms of broader impacts are: 1) To provide an open and inclusive forum for oral presentations that allows all labs to share research results. Lead PIs are limited to a brief 5 minute overview of each research area to define key knowns as well as important knowledge gaps. This limit in the time allocated to established PIs is to help focus on postdoc, student and beginning PI presentations. Student and post-doc presentations will be geared toward teaching all participants basic methodology as well as data interpretation. Ample time will be devoted for discussion; 2) To provide an opportunity for all participants to present and discuss their results in evening poster sessions; 3) To conduct hands-on demonstrations and workshop centered on the topics of super-resolution light microscopy and imaging using electron tomography.

Lay AbstrackThere是建立知识库的强烈需求，该知识基础将使作物物种的合理设计能够理性设计。为了实现这一目标，我们必须了解植物细胞如何整合新陈代谢，细胞骨架组织以及在生长期间的囊泡运输以及对环境挑战的反应。这次会议的重点是独特的，并试图促进创新方法用于实时细胞成像，图像量化，信号处理和计算模拟。所有参与者将建立联系，有机会介绍海报，许多早期的职业科学家将有口头演讲的机会。学生和博物交易后演讲将旨在教授所有参与者基本方法以及数据解释。技术抽象是植物细胞生物学家的核心核心，他们试图更好地了解Organelle和Cell Dynamics的潜在机制，他们具有类似的技术挑战，可以满足其研究目标。整个小组试图找到最有效的方法来采用定量成像技术，生化技术和计算工具的组合，以获得对植物细胞系统的机械理解。实现这些目标将需要对最先进的定量细胞生物学方法的教师，博士后研究员，研究生和本科生的发展，实施和培训。中西部植物细胞生物学会议为植物细胞生物学家提供了讨论其最新研究，开发合作，获得最新方法的动手经验，并促进将加速细胞动力学机械分析的新工具的机会。这次会议的重点是独特的，并试图促进创新方法用于实时细胞成像，图像量化，信号处理和计算模拟。今年的会议设有有关高分辨率光和电子显微镜的有用研讨会。 2015年会议的主题演讲者是对器官，细胞和细胞生长分析的公认专家。所有参与者将建立联系，有机会介绍海报，许多早期的职业科学家将有口头演讲的机会。在更广泛影响方面的具体目标是：1）为口头演示提供一个开放和包容的论坛，以允许所有实验室共享研究结果。铅PI仅限于每个研究领域的简短5分钟概述，以定义已知关键的知识以及重要的知识差距。分配给已建立的PI的时间的限制是帮助专注于博士后，学生和开始PI演示文稿。学生和大多数演讲将旨在教授所有参与者的基本方法以及数据解释。充足的时间将用于讨论； 2）为所有参与者提供一个机会，在晚上的海报会议上介绍和讨论他们的结果； 3）进行动手演示和讲习班，以电子断层扫描为中心的超分辨率光学显微镜和成像的主题。
