Eighth North American Conference on Mycorrhizae; September 4-8, 1990 in Jackson, Wyoming

菌根是植物之间的互惠关系 根（或假根）和真菌。 这种共生关系存在于 几乎每一个陆地栖息地的绝大多数 植物，是自然和管理的生态系统的重要组成部分。 这笔赠款将为第八届北 在怀俄明州的杰克逊霍尔举行的美国真菌病会议。 的 这次会议的重点将是结合研究， 真菌学与1990年代的植物和真菌生物学。 北美真菌病会议（NACOM）， 大约每三年发生一次，是主要的来源。 自2000年成立以来， 1969. 它已成为发展概念的首要会议 以及与真菌病研究相关的应用。 在 第七届NACOM（1987年5月），在盖恩斯维尔佛罗里达，310名科学家 来自31个国家的代表出席了会议，提交了253份论文。 与工厂融合的主题 科学，会议将组织使用分层 这是一个允许所有相关团体进行互动的结构。 在星期三，开幕日，主要地址将在 分子细胞生物学，星期四将集中在 有机体生物学，星期五社区互动， 星期六，生态系统。 理论和应用 研讨会将在整个星期中穿插举行。 将作出特别努力，将研究人员， 积极参与菌根的工作。 因此，对于每个 上午的会议围绕着一个综合的 会议专门讨论了解主要问题， 在一个单一的层次上进行。 下午将是 致力于由菌根社区组织的研讨会。 在 每个案件，晚上，已预留海报和非正式 讨论。

Mycorrhizae are the mutualistic associations between plant roots (or rhizoids) and fungi. This symbiosis is found in virtually every terrestrial habitat on the vast majority of plants, and is a vital part of natural and managed ecosystems. This grant will provide travel support for the 8th North American Conference on Mycorrhizae in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The emphasis of this meeting will be integrating the study of mycorrhizae with the Plant and Fungal Biology of the 1990's. The North American Conference on Mycorrhizae (NACOM), occurring approximately every 3 years, has been the major source of interaction for mycorrhizal researchers since its inception in 1969. It has become the premier meeting for developing concepts and applications related to the study of mycorrhizae. At the seventh NACOM (May 1987), in Gainesville Florida, 310 scientists from 31 countries attended and presented 253 papers. In keeping with the theme of integration with Plant Sciences, the meeting will be organized using a hierarchical structure that will permit interaction of all interested groups. On Wednesday, the opening day, the major addresses will be on molecular-cellular biology, Thursday will concentrate on organismal biology, Friday on community interactions, and Saturday on ecosystem processes. Theoretical and applied symposia will be interspersed throughout the week. Special attempts will be made to integrate researchers who are actively involved with mycorrhizal work. Therefore, for each day, the morning session has been built around an integrative session devoted to understanding the major questions and approaches at a single hierarchical level. Afternoons will be devoted to symposia organized by the mycorrhizal community. In each case, evenings, have been reserved for posters and informal discussions.
