DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The post-genomic era presents new opportunities for manipulating plant chemistry that will impact the level and nutritional content of the global food supply and lead to new biological sources of novel drugs and therapeutic hormones. The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Plant Metabolic Engineering provides a setting for developing multidisciplinary collaborations needed to unravel the dynamic complexity of plant metabolic networks and advance basic and applied research in plant metabolic engineering. The Conference was very successfully carried out in the summer of 2005. The second conference will take place July 15-20, 2007 at the Tilton School, Tilton, New Hampshire and every two years thereafter. Similar as in 2005, we expect the number of speakers and participants to number approximately 130-150 from the US and abroad, at all career levels, and represent institutions from academia, industry, private institutes, and federal laboratories. Concerted efforts will continue to be made for appropriate representation by women, persons with disabilities, and scientists from underrepresented groups. As an addition to the 2007 GRC, and expected to continue in years to come, we have developed a Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) in Plant Metabolic Engineering immediately before the GRC. The GRS' provide a unique venue for junior scientists (Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows) to present their research in a more relaxed setting in front of their peers. The school will be centered on "Roundtable Discussions", opportunities for participants to be exposed and discuss openly issues related to the fields to be covered as well as the direction that they expect the school to take, providing the participants with opportunity to establish ownership of the meeting. Participants to the GRS will be encouraged and expected to stay for the GRC, further enhancing the educational component of this conference.

描述（由申请人提供）：基因组时代为操纵植物化学提供了新的机会，这将影响全球粮食供应的水平和营养含量，并导致新型药物和治疗激素的新生物学来源。关于植物代谢工程的戈登研究会议（GRC）为开发开发植物代谢网络的动态复杂性所需的多学科合作提供了设置，并推进了植物代谢工程中的基本和应用研究。该会议在2005年夏季非常成功举行。第二次会议将于2007年7月15日至20日在蒂尔顿，新罕布什尔州蒂尔顿学校举行，此后每两年举行。与2005年相似，我们期望演讲者和参与者的数量在美国和国外的所有职业级别中约为130-150，代表来自学术界，工业，私人机构和联邦实验室的机构。妇女，残疾人和代表性不足的群体的科学家将继续进行一致的努力，以适当代表。作为2007年GRC的补充，预计将在未来几年中持续下去，我们在GRC之前就开发了植物代谢工程学的研究生研究研讨会（GRS）。 GRS为初级科学家（博士学位和博士后研究员）提供了一个独特的场所，以在同龄人面前更轻松的环境中介绍他们的研究。学校将集中在“圆桌讨论”，参与者暴露的机会以及与领域相关的公开问题以及他们期望学校采取的方向的公开问题，为参与者提供了建立会议所有权的机会。鼓励GRS的参与者将被鼓励，并期望留在GRC上，从而进一步增强本次会议的教育部分。
