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.

2022年第九届细胞壁研究会议(IXCWRC)：细胞壁研究促进植物生物学新的基础发现和应用‘会议将于2022年6月13日至17日在密歇根州东兰辛市举行。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，与外部环境相连，并支持整个有机体的生长。了解建立和维持植物细胞壁所必需的细胞和细胞外过程是重要的，因为细胞壁在生长和疾病期间的生物合成和重塑在很大程度上是未知的过程，而且细胞壁与食物、纤维、燃料和其他人类不可或缺的材料相关。更好地了解细胞壁是如何在植物生长过程中合成、沉积和维持的，以及对环境的响应，可以为提高植物产量和抗逆性提供信息并改进生物技术过程。获取这种知识需要交流新的想法和成果，以及开发和应用新技术。IXCWRC的目标是提供一个开放的论坛，讨论新的想法和理论，在一个多样化和支持性的环境中为全球科学家发展合作，并通过量身定做的研讨会和活动促进和培训下一代科学家。NSF奖将用于制定一个令人兴奋的计划，特别是通过扩大早期职业调查人员参加会议的范围，促进他们的网络联系，并促进科学社区的包容性基础。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。
