CONFERENCE Post transcriptional Gene Regulation

项目摘要

This award will provide support for a Conference on Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation in Plants to be held July 14-15, 2016 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas. The format of the meeting, which includes oral presentations and poster sessions, will provide a highly interactive environment to facilitate the sharing of latest research developments in this exciting field of plant biology. The program will also include career-building opportunities for young and early-career scientists, thus contributing to development of a new generation of plant scientists. The timing of this meeting--immediately after, and at the same site as, the American Society of Plant Biologists' Plant Biology 2016 Conference--is intended to make attendance convenient and affordable.Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is crucial to many fundamental plant processes, and recent discoveries have highlighted many new regulatory mechanisms impacting pre-mRNA processing, RNA modification, and RNA stability. This conference will provide opportunities for scientists to exchange ideas concerning these new models of gene regulation and their impacts on plant growth and development, including responses to various abiotic and biotic stresses. Discussions will also include novel experimental and computational methods that permit collection and integrative analyses of high throughput data. The conference will have broad impact on scientific career development by promoting participation of women and members of underrepresented groups and by providing early-career researchers with structured opportunities to network and form collaborations with experts in the field.

该奖项将为将于2016年7月14-15日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的奥斯汀会议中心举行的植物转录后基因调控会议提供支持。会议的形式包括口头报告和海报环节，将提供一个高度互动的环境，以促进在这个令人兴奋的植物生物学领域的最新研究进展的交流。该项目还将为年轻和早期职业科学家提供职业发展机会，从而促进新一代植物科学家的发展。本次会议的时间选择在美国植物生物学家协会2016年植物生物学大会之后，并且在同一地点举行，旨在使与会者方便且负担得起。基因表达的转录后调控对植物的许多基本过程至关重要，最近的发现强调了许多影响mrna前加工、RNA修饰和RNA稳定性的新调控机制。本次会议将为科学家们提供机会，就这些新的基因调控模式及其对植物生长和发育的影响，包括对各种非生物和生物胁迫的反应，交换意见。讨论还将包括允许收集和综合分析高通量数据的新颖实验和计算方法。这次会议将促进妇女和代表性不足群体成员的参与，并为早期职业研究人员提供与该领域专家建立网络和形成合作的有组织的机会，从而对科学职业发展产生广泛的影响。
