Conference: 2017 Chloroplast Biotechnology GRC: Breaking ground towards plant synthetic biology; January 8-13, 2017; Ventura, California

2017年叶绿体生物技术戈登研究会议和研讨会会议将汇集越来越多的科学家社区，将叶绿体分子生物学的基础研究与农业，工业生物技术和医疗保健的应用相结合。讨论的主题是全面的，并解决了实现质体生物技术的预期效益所需的主要需求和问题。会议将接待研究生、博士后科学家和初级学者以及该领域的国际骨干专家。强调分享以前未发表的信息，使创新的方法，以解决面临的最重要的挑战field.Plastid工程的预期，质体转基因表达排除转基因流瓶花粉，因为遗传的转基因是有限的母本。 会议将集中讨论以下主题：（1）工业和制药应用中重组蛋白的表达;（2）改造质体基因组以提高光合效率和植物生产力;（3）将新的代谢途径和结构改造成叶绿体;（4）将新的农艺性状改造成叶绿体以进行基因堆叠和转基因遏制。

The 2017 Chloroplast Biotechnology Gordon Research Conference and Seminar meeting will bring together a growing community of scientists combining fundamental studies on chloroplast molecular biology with applications in agriculture, industrial biotechnology and healthcare. The topics discussed are comprehensive and address the major needs and questions necessary to realize the envisioned benefits of plastid biotechnology. The meeting will host graduate students, postdoctoral scientists and junior academics together with an international cadre of leading experts in the field. The emphasis on sharing previously unpublished information enables the cultivation of innovative approaches to address the most important challenges facing the field.Plastid engineering is driven by the expectation that plastid transgene expression precludes transgene flow vial pollen, because the inheritance of the transgene is limited to maternal parent. The conference will be focused on topics such as: (1) expression of recombinant proteins for industrial and pharmaceutical applications; (2) engineering the plastid genome to improve photosynthetic efficiency and plant productivity; (3) engineering novel metabolic pathways and structures into chloroplasts; (4) engineering novel agronomic traits into chloroplasts for gene stacking and transgene containment.
