Biological systems are rife with communication from micro (cell-to-cell) to macro scales (inter- organismal), and information can be transmitted through diverse mechanisms (e.g., kinase cascades, hormones, electrical potentials). Signaling systems are not always simple linear flows of information. Some signals are recognized by multiple receivers, and multiple signals might converge to activate a response. Understanding signals, their sources and receivers, and downstream consequences of a signal are at the heart of molecular biology, including molecular plant science. The 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Plant Molecular Biology and associated Gordon Research Seminar will assemble a diverse group of researchers to present and discuss the latest research in plant molecular biology through the lens of information is transmission. In addition to presentations from international experts, the conference will include short talks selected to highlight late-breaking research and poster presentations for early career researchers. Students and postdocs are also encouraged to attend the associated Gordon Research Seminar, an opportunity to present their research among their peers.The conference program is organized around different scales of communication, including molecular signaling, cellular and intercellular communication, long-distance signaling, and inter-organismal interactions. In addition to exploring specific scientific questions, the conference will highlight important concepts in communication, including spatial and temporal regulation, branching versus converging pathways (one-to-many versus many-to-one), and signal fidelity. Improving communication between scientists of different career stages, nationalities, and cultural backgrounds is also an important goal of the meeting.This conference will be co-funded by the Plant Biotic Interactions Program and the Plant Genome Research Program in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems.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.

生物系统充满了从微观（细胞到细胞）到宏观尺度（生物体间）的通信，并且信息可以通过不同的机制（例如，激酶级联、激素、电势）。信号系统并不总是简单的线性信息流。一些信号被多个接收器识别，并且多个信号可能会聚以激活响应。了解信号，它们的来源和接收器，以及信号的下游后果是分子生物学的核心，包括分子植物科学。2024年戈登植物分子生物学研究会议和相关的戈登研究研讨会将聚集一群不同的研究人员，通过信息传输的透镜介绍和讨论植物分子生物学的最新研究。除了国际专家的演讲外，会议还将包括简短的演讲，以突出最新的研究和早期职业研究人员的海报展示。我们鼓励学生和博士后参加相关的戈登研究研讨会，这是一个在同行中展示他们研究的机会。会议计划围绕不同规模的通信组织，包括分子信号，细胞和细胞间通信，长距离信号和生物体间相互作用。除了探讨具体的科学问题，会议还将强调通信中的重要概念，包括空间和时间调节，分支与聚合途径（一对多与多对一）以及信号保真度。改善不同职业阶段、不同国籍的科学家之间的沟通，和文化背景也是会议的一个重要目标。本次会议将共同由植物生物相互作用计划和植物基因组研究计划在综合有机体系统部资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的支持。影响审查标准。
