The 2017 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) "Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism, and Function" integrates concepts and approaches in mechanisms and signaling function of plant lipids. The meetings, to be held January 28 through February 3, 2017 at the Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas will advance the field by introducing new emerging paradigms not presented previously. The GRC is internationally known for high-quality, cutting-edge meetings, and because of this many scientists want to attend and contribute to a GRC. The scientific talks, discussions, and poster presentations at the 2017 meeting will stimulate new research directions, and provide underpinnings for collaborative interactions that advance the study of lipid signaling, metabolism, and function. In addition to this impact on the field, the GRS will offer a concentrated opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees to network and learn. Participating as a presenter and interacting with other scientists in the supportive atmosphere of the GRS and GRC provides an excellent opportunity for beginning researchers to develop a strong network of peers and senior colleagues, while increasing scientific breadth and depth. Lunch table mentoring sessions also seek to actively engage students with established investigators to ask questions. The GRC on Plant Lipids has an excellent track record in recruiting diverse speakers and providing leadership opportunities to women, specifically the current proportion of women among the invited speakers and discussion leaders (33%). Additional speakers of under-represented status will be sought to attend the meeting. Topics to be discussed include plant lipid-mediated post-translational modification; genome modification approaches to metabolic engineering of lipid biosynthesis; "omic" platforms for lipid analyses; lipid imaging, spectroscopy; molecular modelling and computational approaches. Moreover, new approaches to stimulate critical discussion will also be deployed, including a focus on integration of knowledge and approaches between metabolism and lipid signaling. Second, significant meeting time will be devoted to selected talks from submitted abstracts and as such more presentations on novel technologies like flux modeling, and exposure to the state of the art technologies for early career scientists at the GRC meeting. Together, these activities will ensure that the GRC on Plant Lipids will bring together experts working to create and disseminate new research tools, discover fundamental paradigms for lipid-mediated regulation of plant responses to developmental and environmental cues.

2017年戈登研究会议（GRC）和研讨会（GRS）“植物脂质：结构、代谢和功能”整合了植物脂质机制和信号功能的概念和方法。这些会议将于 2017 年 1 月 28 日至 2 月 3 日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿的加尔维兹酒店举行，将通过引入以前未提出过的新兴范例来推进该领域的发展。 GRC 因高质量、前沿的会议而享誉国际，正因为如此，许多科学家都希望参加 GRC 并为之做出贡献。 2017 年会议上的科学演讲、讨论和海报展示将激发新的研究方向，并为协作互动提供基础，从而推进脂质信号传导、代谢和功能的研究。除了对该领域的影响之外，GRS 还将为研究生和博士后实习生提供集中的交流和学习机会。作为演讲者参与并在 GRS 和 GRC 的支持氛围中与其他科学家互动，为刚起步的研究人员提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们建立强大的同行和资深同事网络，同时增加科学的广度和深度。午餐辅导课程还寻求让学生积极向已建立的调查人员提出问题。 GRC 植物脂质在招募多元化演讲者和为女性提供领导机会方面有着出色的记录，特别是目前受邀演讲者和讨论领导者中女性的比例（33%）。将寻求其他代表性不足的发言人出席会议。讨论的主题包括植物脂质介导的翻译后修饰；脂质生物合成代谢工程的基因组修饰方法；用于脂质分析的“omic”平台；脂质成像、光谱学；分子建模和计算方法。此外，还将采用激发批判性讨论的新方法，包括重点关注代谢和脂质信号转导之间的知识和方法的整合。其次，大量的会议时间将用于从提交的摘要中精选的演讲，以及更多关于通量建模等新技术的演示，以及在 GRC 会议上为早期职业科学家提供最先进技术的展示。总之，这些活动将确保植物脂质 GRC 将汇集专家，致力于创建和传播新的研究工具，发现脂质介导的植物对发育和环境线索反应的调节的基本范例。
