In recent years, advances in plant microbiome research have engaged a diverse global community of researchers. NSF funds will be used to support the participation of students and early career investigators in the UC Davis-Nature Conference: Harnessing the Plant Microbiome, to be held virtually on October 22-24, 2021. The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including cross-kingdom interactions, molecular signals and communication, plant microbial ecology, microbiome analytics, and biotechnology and agricultural management. Invited speakers will include leading international experts, providing an exceptional opportunity for conference participants to hear about advances and concepts at the cutting edge of this rapidly growing field of research. In addition, opportunities to network with industry representatives, some invited speakers, and journal editors provide added benefits for students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career researchers. It is expected that this conference will have a significant impact on agricultural biotechnology, and consequently on the ability to meet societal challenges such as food security and environmental sustainability in an era of increased need for crop productivity due to the pressures of population growth, economic development, and climate change. New methodological innovations have enabled major advances in understanding the complexity of plant microbiomes and their cross-kingdom interactions and establishing a basis for sustainable development of agroecosystems. Harnessing the plant microbiome towards these goals holds great promise to expedite solutions to the challenges facing humanity, such as food security, food safety, and environmental sustainability. UC Davis and Nature Conferences (https://conferences.nature.com/) have partnered to host the “Harnessing the Plant Microbiome” virtual conference which aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations and public-private partnerships on the current and emerging themes in this exciting research area. Conference proceedings that include the final program agenda and presentation abstracts will be made publicly available through the conference website and will be associated with the Nature Conferences media outlet for a global reach.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.

近年来，植物微生物组研究的进展吸引了全球不同的研究人员。NSF的资金将用于支持学生和早期职业调查人员参加加州大学戴维斯分校-自然会议：利用植物微生物组，该会议将于2021年10月22日至24日举行。会议将涵盖范围广泛的主题，包括跨王国相互作用、分子信号和通信、植物微生物生态学、微生物组分析以及生物技术和农业管理。受邀的演讲者将包括顶尖的国际专家，这将为与会者提供一个难得的机会，让他们了解这一快速增长的研究领域的前沿进展和概念。此外，与行业代表、一些特邀演讲者和期刊编辑建立网络的机会为学生、博士后研究员和早期职业研究人员提供了额外的好处。预计这次会议将对农业生物技术产生重大影响，从而对在人口增长、经济发展和气候变化的压力导致对作物生产力的需求增加的时代应对粮食安全和环境可持续性等社会挑战的能力产生重大影响。新的方法创新使人们在了解植物微生物群的复杂性及其跨界相互作用方面取得了重大进展，并为农业生态系统的可持续发展奠定了基础。利用植物微生物群实现这些目标将极有希望加快解决人类面临的挑战，如食品安全、食品安全和环境可持续性。加州大学戴维斯分校和自然会议(https://conferences.nature.com/))合作主办了“利用植物微生物群”虚拟会议，旨在促进关于这一令人兴奋的研究领域当前和新兴主题的跨学科讨论和合作以及公私伙伴关系。包括最终计划议程和演示摘要的会议记录将通过会议网站公开提供，并将与自然会议全球媒体联系在一起。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
