DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 27th Fungal Genetics Conference will be held at the Asilomar Conference Center from March 12-17, 2013. Approximately 950 scientists and students from around the world will attend. A main goal of this biennial meeting is to promote the dissemination of the latest research on all aspects of the biology of fungi with a focus on filamentous fungi. Another important goal is to promote communication and collaboration between researchers interested in medical pathogens, and those working with plant pathogens, saprobic fungi and symbiotic fungi to increase research on infectious fungal diseases. A better understanding of the biology and interactions of fungi with their hosts and environment will lead to development of therapeutics to treat fungal diseases. The meeting will consist of four plenary sessions, four sets of concurrent sessions covering specialized areas, and three poster sessions. Topics areas of the four plenary sessions are: Metabolic Pathways: Cell Growth, Pathogenesis and Bioenergy, Organismic Molecular Interactions, Sensing, Cell Biology and Development, and Functional Ecology of Fungal Communities. The 28 concurrent session topics include: Parallels between fungal pathogens of plants and animals, Interactions between fungi and animals, Fungicides and antifungals, Genetics and genomics of interactions with bacteria, insects and plants, Cell signaling involved in fungal development and pathogenesis, Secondary metabolism, Synthetic biology, Fungal Evo-Devo, Tropic responses and fusion, Light sensing and Circadian Rhythms, Cell wall, polarity and hyphal tip growth, Membrane trafficking and molecular organization, Cytoskeleton, motors and cellular transport, Genomics and biochemistry of degradation of complex molecules in the environment, Fungal volatiles and organic compounds as signaling agents, Oxidative stress, ROS signaling and adaptation to hypoxia, Regulation and comparative genomics of carbon and nitrogen metabolism, Cool tools for fungal biology: Focus on classical and molecular genetics, Nucleic acid-protein interactions that impact transcription and translation, Genome defense, epigenetics and RNAi, Fungi in Education, Using fungi as model systems to study fundamental questions in evolutionary biology, Ecological metagenomics, Phylogenonics, Genomics and mycorrhizae. This meeting places a strong emphasis on the participation of young scientists and students, particularly those from underrepresented groups. Many have their first opportunity to present their research at a major international conference. Funds are requested to help defray the travel and participation costs of students, postdoctoral researchers and some young scientists, and will be distributed on a need basis.

描述（由申请人提供）：第27届真菌遗传学会议将于2013年3月12日至17日在Asilomar会议中心举行。来自世界各地的约950名科学家和学生将参加。该两年期会议的一个主要目标是促进传播真菌生物学各方面的最新研究，重点是丝状真菌。另一个重要目标是促进对医学病原体感兴趣的研究人员与那些研究植物病原体、腐殖真菌和共生真菌的研究人员之间的交流与合作，以增加对传染性真菌疾病的研究。更好地了解真菌的生物学及其与宿主和环境的相互作用将导致治疗真菌疾病的疗法的发展。会议将包括四次全体会议、涉及专门领域的四组并行会议和三次海报会议。四个全体会议的主题领域是：代谢途径：细胞生长，发病机制和生物能源，器官分子相互作用，传感，细胞生物学和发展，以及真菌群落的功能生态学。28个同期会议主题包括：植物和动物的真菌病原体之间的相似性，真菌和动物之间的相互作用，杀真菌剂和抗真菌剂，与细菌，昆虫和植物相互作用的遗传学和基因组学，真菌发育和发病机制中涉及的细胞信号传导，次生代谢，合成生物学，真菌Evo-Devo，热带反应和融合，光传感和昼夜节律，细胞壁，极性和菌丝尖端生长，膜运输和分子组织，细胞骨架，马达和细胞运输，环境中复杂分子降解的基因组学和生物化学，真菌挥发物和有机化合物作为信号传导剂，氧化应激，ROS信号传导和适应缺氧，碳和氮代谢的调节和比较基因组学，真菌生物学的酷工具：专注于经典和分子遗传学，影响转录和翻译的核酸-蛋白质相互作用，基因组防御，表观遗传学和RNAi，教育中的真菌，使用真菌作为模型系统来研究进化生物学，生态宏基因组学，系统发育学，基因组学和真菌学中的基本问题。 这次会议特别强调青年科学家和学生的参与，特别是代表性不足群体的青年科学家和学生的参与。许多人第一次有机会在一个重要的国际会议上介绍他们的研究。要求提供资金以帮助支付学生、博士后研究人员和一些青年科学家的旅费和与会费用，并将根据需要分配资金。
