IX Cell Wall Research Conference 2022 (IXCWRC): Cell Wall Research for New Fundamental Discoveries and Applications in Plant Biology

会议“IX细胞壁研究会议2022（IXCWRC）：细胞壁研究在植物生物学中的新的基础发现和应用”将于2022年6月13日至17日在密歇根州东兰辛举行。会议将重点讨论植物细胞壁，它构成了植物生物量的大部分，与外部环境相互作用，并支持整个生物体的生长。了解细胞和细胞外过程建立和维持植物细胞壁是很重要的，因为细胞壁的生物合成和重塑在生长和疾病过程中很大程度上是未知的过程，因为相关的细胞壁的食物，纤维，燃料，和其他材料是人类不可缺少的。更好地了解细胞壁如何在植物生长过程中合成，沉积和维持以及对环境的响应可以为提高植物产量和恢复力提供信息和改进生物技术过程。要获得这种知识，就需要交流新的想法和成果，以及开发和应用新技术。国际XCWRC旨在提供一个开放的论坛，讨论新的想法和理论，在多样化和支持性的环境中为地球仪的科学家发展合作，并通过有针对性的研讨会和活动促进和培训下一代科学家。该奖项将用于开发一个令人兴奋的计划，特别是通过扩大早期职业研究人员对会议的参与，促进他们的网络和培养一个包容性的科学社区的基础。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。

The meeting 'IX Cell Wall Research Conference 2022 (IXCWRC): Cell wall research for new fundamental discoveries and applications in plant biology' will be held in East Lansing, Michigan on June 13-17, 2022. The meeting will focus on the plant cell wall, which makes up most of the plant biomass, interfaces with the external environment, and supports the growth of the entire organism. Understanding the cellular and extracellular processes necessary to build and maintain the plant cell wall is important because cell wall biosynthesis and remodeling during growth and disease are largely uncharacterized processes, and because of the relevance of the cell wall for food, fiber, fuel, and other materials that are indispensable to humans. A better understanding of how the cell wall is synthesized, deposited, and maintained during plant growth and in response to the environment can inform and improve biotechnological processes for increasing plant yield and resilience. Acquiring such knowledge requires the exchange of new ideas and results as well as the development and application of new technologies. The IXCWRC aims to provide an open forum to discuss new ideas and theories, develop collaborations for scientists across the globe in a diverse and supportive environment, in addition to promoting and training the next generation of scientists through tailored workshops and activities. The NSF award will be used to develop an exciting program, particularly by broadening the participation of early career investigators to the meeting, facilitating their networking and fostering the foundations of an inclusive community in science.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.
