Ethylene is a plant hormone that has profound effects on growth and development. The way that hormones act in an organism and in the cell is very complex, and we are only beginning to understand the complex web of interacting molecules that are unleashed by the action of a hormone such as ethylene. This meeting will bring together a wide range of scientists, including early career scientists at the level of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, to discuss the cellular and molecular systems that cause the release of ethylene and the systems that react to that release. The work that will be discussed at this conference is directly relevant to US agriculture, to the US economy, and to the US food supply and food security.The proposed program for the conference covers ethylene signaling across a range of scales, from molecular to organismal, and will discuss ethylene signaling at the cell biology level, integrating molecular and cell biological studies in a way that will help develop the systems biology of ethylene signaling in the cell. There will also be sessions on the computational modeling of ethylene signaling networks and interdisciplinary studies using a combination of biology, biophysics and computational approaches to model ethylene receptor structure. In addition, much of the conference will discuss the current understanding of ethylene signaling as it is developing in non-model (i.e. non-Arabidopsis) crop plants, microbes and algae ? increasing our understanding of non-model organisms, an important area as we try to apply lessons from model species studies to a more diverse range of organisms.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

乙烯是一种对生长和发育产生深远影响的植物激素。激素在生物体和细胞中起作用的方式非常复杂，我们才开始理解复杂的相互作用分子的网络，这些网络是由乙烯等激素的作用释放的。这次会议将汇集各种各样的科学家，包括研究生和博士后研究员水平的早期职业科学家，讨论导致乙烯释放的细胞和分子系统以及对该释放反应的系统。将在本次会议上讨论的工作与美国农业，美国的经济以及美国粮食供应和粮食安全有关。拟议的会议计划涵盖了跨尺度的乙烯信号，从分子到有机体，并将在细胞生物学水平上讨论乙烯信号，从而有助于分子和细胞生物学的细胞研究，从而在细胞中进行生物学研究。还将使用生物学，生物物理学和计算方法的组合来建模乙烯受体结构的结合，将乙烯信号网络和跨学科研究的计算模型进行会议。此外，大部分会议将讨论当前对乙烯信号传导的理解，因为它在非模型（即非阿拉宾索植物）作物，微生物和藻类中发育？我们对非模型生物的了解增加了我们的重要领域，因为我们试图将课程从模型物种研究应用于更多样化的生物体。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来获得支持的审查标准。
