 DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The 28th Fungal Genetics Conference will be held at the Asilomar Conference Center from March 17-22, 2015. Approximately 950 scientists and students from around the US and the world will attend. A primary 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 Medical Mycologists and those working with fungal plant pathogens, saprobic fungi and symbiotic fungi. This has led to significant recruitment of mycologists to join the Medical Mycology research community. 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, and three poster sessions. Topics of the four plenary sessions are: Evolution, Development, Interactions and Signals. The 28 concurrent session topics include: Fungus-animal interactions, Population genomics and microevolution, Impact of fungal metabolism on pathogenicity, Multicellular development/Crosstalk between morphogenetic and developmental pathways in filamentous fungi, Circadian rhythms and photobiology, Extremophilic fungi, Molecular evolution of antifungal resistance, Cytoskeleton, endocytosis and endosome, Mating systems and sexual development, Gene regulatory networks, Secondary Metabolism, In vivo imaging of host-pathogen interactions, Dynamics of genome evolution, Surface growth in filamentous fungi and yeast, Fungus-plant interactions, Stress responses and senescence, RNA metabolism and transport, Epigenetics, Chromatin, and Genome Defense, Cell cycle, Effector biology, ROS in development and pathogenicity, Fungal Biotechnology, and Early diverging fungi. Seven of the plenary session speakers have direct relevance to medically important fungi and eight of the 23 concurrent sessions having a significant focus on medical mycology. Many of the other concurrent sessions will include talks on medically relevant fungi. 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(申请人提供)：第28届真菌遗传学大会将于2015年3月17-22日在Asilomar会议中心举行。来自美国和世界各地的约950名科学家和学生将参加。这一两年一次的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成果，重点是丝状真菌。另一个重要目标是促进医学真菌学家与从事植物真菌病原体、腐生真菌和共生真菌研究的人员之间的交流与合作。这导致大量招募真菌学家加入医学真菌学研究社区。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。会议将由四次全体会议、四组并行会议和三次海报会议组成。四次全体会议的主题是：进化、发展、互动和信号。28个主题包括：真菌-动物相互作用，种群基因组和微进化，真菌代谢对致病性的影响，丝状真菌形态发生和发育途径之间的多细胞发育/串扰，昼夜节律和光生物学，极端嗜菌真菌，抗真菌抗性的分子进化，细胞骨架，内吞作用和内吞作用，交配系统和性发育，基因调控网络，次生代谢，宿主-病原体相互作用的活体成像，基因组进化的动力学，丝状真菌和酵母的表面生长，真菌-植物相互作用，胁迫反应和衰老，RNA代谢和运输，表观遗传学，染色质和基因组防御，细胞周期，效应器生物学，发育中的Ros和致病性，真菌生物技术，生物技术和早期发散的真菌。全体会议的发言者中有7人与医学上重要的真菌有直接关系，23个同时举行的会议中有8个会议的重点是医学真菌学。许多其他同时举行的会议将包括关于医学相关真菌的演讲。本次会议高度重视青年科学家和学生的参与，特别是来自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大型国际会议上展示他们的研究成果。申请的资金用于支付学生、博士后研究人员和一些青年科学家的旅费和参与费，并将根据需要分配。
