Conference: Phosphoinositide Sources of Second Messengers inPlant Growth and Development on April 14-16, 1988 in West Lafayette, Indiana

请求为在联合国总部举行的一次研究会议提供支助。 1988年春，关于磷酸肌醇作为第二个 植物生长和发育的信使 第二区 信使是目前植物生物学中发展最快的领域之一。 对于涉及多磷酸肌醇的研究尤其如此 作为动物细胞中的主要第二信使系统， 在过去的十年中出现。 我们的目标是把一组精选的 植物第二信使领域的专家以及 工作集中在肌醇代谢，以批判性地讨论第二个 植物中的信使概念以及肌醇磷酸 与蛋白激酶和钙一起在激素中发挥这种作用 应答 虽然聚磷酸肌醇已经非常清楚地被证明 发生在植物中，并在一定的发育条件下被调节 在这些条件下，第二信使的作用仍有待证明。 植物中的物质，这个领域肯定非常需要 批判性评价 本次会议旨在促进以下方面的互动： 与会者，以期出现新的范例， 理解第二信使信号传导的机制， 第二信使在植物生长中的作用 发展

Support is requested for a research conference to be held in the spring of 1988 on the subject of phosphoinositides as sources of second messengers in plant growth and development. The area of second messengers currently is one of the rapid growth areas in plant biology. This is especially so for research involving the polyphosphoinositides where a role as a major second messenger system in animal cells has emerged during the last decade. Our goal is to bring a select group of experts in the area of plant second messengers together with those whose work has focused on inositol metabolism to discuss critically the second messenger concept in plants and the possibility that inositol phosphates together with protein kinases and calcium fulfill such a role in hormone responses. While polyphosphoinositides have quite clearly been shown to occur in plants and to be modulated under certain developmental conditions, a second messenger role remains to be proven for these substances in plants, and the field is certainly very much in need of critical evaluation. This conference will be designed to foster interaction among participants with a view toward the emergence of new paradigms for the understanding of the mechanisms of second messenger signalling in plants, and the role of second messengers in plant growth and development.
