U.S.-Pakistan Workshop on Biotechnology and Conventional Research Needs in Oilseed Crops, Lahore, Pakistan, March 1989, Award in Pakistani and U.S. Currencies

描述：该项目将支持最多9名美国科学家参加美国-巴基斯坦研讨会，讨论生物技术和传统领域的研究需求，以提高油籽作物的产量和质量。美方组长是西雅图华盛顿大学生物化学系的米尔顿·戈登博士，巴基斯坦组长是拉合尔旁遮普大学高级分子生物学中心主任S·里亚兹丁博士。这次会议得到了巴基斯坦农业研究中心(ARC)和大学资助委员会(UGC)的支持。与会者将代表的领域包括生物化学、植物生理学、分子生物学、植物育种、农学和农业规划。要解决的问题包括对恶劣土壤/水/天气条件的耐受性、对各种疾病的易感性、对昆虫的抵抗力，以及产品的各种用途的价值。巴基斯坦专家全国会议将就这些问题的质量和数量层面提出一份报告。这份报告将在讲习班与会者开会之前尽早提供给他们。研讨会的论文和研究项目的建议将以会议记录的形式发表。范围：美方与会者是各自研究领域的知名专家，在农产品改良的开发工作中具有丰富的经验。这位巴基斯坦合作科学家是该国领先的生物学家之一，在分子生物学和协调与该项目类似的活动方面拥有丰富的经验。巴基斯坦ARC的支持非常重要，因为它拥有重要的科学资源，并使这一项目的结果成为巴基斯坦方面未来在联合项目上采取行动所必需的权重。

Description: This project will support up to nine U.S. scientists to participate in a U.S.-Pakistan workshop to discusss research needs both in biotechology and in conventional areas to enhance the productivity and quality of oilseed crops. The U.S. team leader is Dr. Milton Gordon, Department of Biochemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, and the Pakistani team leader is Dr. S. Riazuddin, Director, Center for Advanced Molecular Biology, University of Punjab, Lahore. The meeting is supported by the Pakistan Agricultural Research Center (ARC) and the University Grants Commission (UGC). The areas to be represented by the participants include biochemistry, plant physiology, molecular biology, plant breeding, agronomy and agricultural planning. The problems to be tackled include tolerance to harsh soil/water/weather conditions, susceptability to various diseases, resistance to insects, and the value of the product for various uses. A national meeting of Pakistani experts will generate a report on the qualitative and quantitative dimensions of these problems . This report will be made available to the workshop participants well in advance of their meeting. The workshop papers and recommendations for research projects will be published in a proceedings. Scope: The U.S. participants are well known experts in their research fields and have considerable experience in developmental work for improving agricultural products. The Pakistani coperating scientist is one of that country's leading biologist, with considerable experience in molecular biology and in coordinating activities similar to this project. The support of the Pakistan ARC is very important because of the significat scientific resources it has, and to give the results of this project the weight necessary for future action by the Pakistani side on joint projects.
