Fertilization Symposium: Fifth International Invertebrate Reproduction Congress, July 23-28, 1989, Nagoya, Japan

这项建议的目的是提供三位演讲者参加1989年7月23-28日在日本名古屋举行的第五届国际无脊椎动物生殖大会的受精研讨会的旅费。本次会议的演讲者将介绍棘皮动物、棘皮动物和腹水动物的最新工作，包括卵膜形成的生物化学、精子与卵子结合的分子基础、卵子激活的受体、离子信号到代谢反应的转导以及精子通过卵衣的酶学等前沿研究。本届大会在研究无脊椎动物的生殖方面是独一无二的，汇集了来自世界各地的研究人员。所提供的机会将导致重要的信息传播，并进一步研究关于受精的见解，特别是在重要的无脊椎动物模型系统中的一般发展。

The objective of this proposal is to provide travel costs for three speakers to participate in a symposium on Fertilization to be held as a part of the 5th International Congress of Invertebrate Reproduction in Nagoya, Japan, July 23-28, 1989. The speakers in this session will describe current work on echinoderms, echiuroids and ascidians covering frontier research on biochemistry of egg envelope formation, molecular basis of sperm-egg binding, receptors for egg activation, transduction of ionic signals into metabolic responses and the enzymology of sperm passage through the egg coat. %%% This Congress is unique in looking at reproduction in the invertebrate phyla and brings together researchers from around the world. The opportunity provided will lead to important dissemination of information and to further research insights about fertilization in particular and development in general in important invertebrate model systems.
