There is a strong need to develop the knowledge base that will enable rational design of improved crop species. To attain this goal, researchers must learn how plant cells integrate metabolism, cytoskeletal organization, and vesicle trafficking during growth and in response to environmental challenges. The first Plant Cell Biology International (PCBI) meeting capitalizes on the interaction between two well-established plant cell biology communities across the Atlantic, the Midwest Plant Cell Dynamics (PCD) and the European Network for Plant Endomembrane Research (ENPER) groups and provides a framework to meet these goals. The focus of this meeting is unique, and features workshops centered on designing an image acquisition and processing pipeline for multi-scale analysis of cellular systems and international collaborations. Keynote speakers for the 2020 meeting are recognized world experts in organelle dynamics and endomembrane trafficking. All participants will network, have the opportunity to present posters, and many early career scientists will have opportunities for oral presentations. There is a growing core of plant cell biologists who seek to better understand the underlying mechanisms of organelle and cell dynamics, and share similar technical challenges to meet their research goals. It’s important to find the most effective ways to employ combinations of quantitative imaging techniques, biochemical techniques, and computational tools to gain a mechanistic understanding of plant cellular systems. Meeting these goals will require data sharing and the development and training of faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students in state-of-the-art quantitative cell biology methods. The first Plant Cell Biology International (PCBI) meeting will 1) advance intellectual exchange and longer term collaborations between US- and Europe-based laboratories, 2) enhance the cultural understanding of next generation of innovators in both continents, 3) provide the opportunity for plant cell biologist to discuss their latest research, develop collaborations, and 4) promote the development of new tools that will accelerate mechanistic analyses of cell dynamics.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.

迫切需要建立知识库，以便能够合理设计改良作物品种。为了实现这一目标，研究人员必须了解植物细胞如何在生长过程中整合代谢，细胞骨架组织和囊泡运输以及应对环境挑战。第一届植物细胞生物学国际（PCBI）会议利用了大西洋两岸两个成熟的植物细胞生物学社区之间的相互作用，中西部植物细胞动力学（PCD）和欧洲植物内膜研究网络（ENPER）组，并提供了一个框架，以实现这些目标。本次会议的重点是独特的，并以设计用于细胞系统和国际合作的多尺度分析的图像采集和处理管道为中心的研讨会。2020年会议的主旨发言人是细胞器动力学和内膜贩运方面公认的世界专家。所有与会者将网络，有机会提出海报，许多早期的职业科学家将有机会口头介绍。植物细胞生物学家的核心越来越多，他们寻求更好地了解细胞器和细胞动力学的潜在机制，并分享类似的技术挑战，以实现他们的研究目标。重要的是要找到最有效的方法，采用定量成像技术，生物化学技术和计算工具的组合，以获得植物细胞系统的机械理解。实现这些目标将需要数据共享和教师，博士后研究员，研究生和本科生在国家的最先进的定量细胞生物学方法的发展和培训。第一届植物细胞生物学国际（PCBI）会议将1）促进美国和欧洲实验室之间的知识交流和长期合作，2）加强两大洲下一代创新者的文化理解，3）为植物细胞生物学家提供讨论他们最新研究的机会，发展合作，以及4）促进新工具的开发，这将加速细胞动力学的机理分析。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
