Meeting: FASEB Conference on Mechanisms in Plant Development Meeting to be held on July 28 - August 2, 2019 at St. Bonaventura University, Olean (NY)

第17届国际美洲实验生物学联合会(FASE B)植物发育机制会议将于2019年7月28日至8月2日在纽约奥莱恩的圣博纳文杰大学举行。这次会议将汇聚来自世界各地的顶尖研究人员，交流未发表的想法，推进植物发育生物学领域的概念和新的研究方向。演讲嘉宾将集中讨论植物发育的广泛领域，如“建立身体计划”、“细胞-细胞通讯”、“发育可塑性”、“维持分生组织”和“细胞特化”。在NSF的支持下，这次会议将通过大量的网络机会、海报会议和职业发展研讨会，促进早期职业科学家和那些来自代表不足群体的科学家的参与和认可。过去25年来，会议定期举行，是一次完全致力于植物发育生物学领域的独特的国际会议。会议规模不大，引发了对这一令人兴奋和快速发展的领域中新想法和新兴技术的激烈讨论。它将把使用进化、遗传、基因组、细胞生物学和计算方法的植物生物学家聚集在一起，交流思想。会议包括来自世界各地的杰出研究人员，介绍了关于控制新组织建立和导致植物体计划自组织的机制的尖端、未发表的研究。这次会议是一次重要而独特的科学会议，通过演讲、海报会议和密集的科学讨论探索植物发育、信号传递、建模和基因组学的交叉。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 17th International Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) meeting on Mechanisms in Plant Development will be held on July 28 - August 2, 2019 at St. Bonaventure University in Olean, New York. This meeting will bring together leading researchers from around the world to exchange unpublished ideas and advance concepts and new research directions for the field of plant developmental biology. Invited speaker sessions will focus on broad areas of plant development such as "Establishing the Body Plan", "Cell-Cell Communication", "Developmental Plasticity", "Maintaining the Meristem", and "Cellular Specialization". With NSF support, the meeting will promote the participation and recognition of early career scientists and those from underrepresented groups through numerous networking opportunities, poster sessions and career development workshops.The conference, which has been held at regular intervals for the past 25 years, is a unique international meeting devoted entirely to the field of plant developmental biology. The small size of the meeting leads to intense discussion of new ideas and emerging techniques in this exciting and rapidly moving field. It will bring together plant biologists using evolutionary, genetic, genomic, cell biological and computational approaches for exchange of ideas. The meeting includes outstanding researchers from around the world, presenting cutting edge, unpublished research on the mechanisms that control establishment of new tissues and lead to the self-organization of the plant body plan. This conference is an important and unique scientific meeting where the intersections of plant development, signaling, modeling and genomics are explored through talks, poster sessions, and intensive scientific discussion.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.
