Purchase of Equipment for Plant Molecular Biology and Biochemistry

该奖项将协助威斯康星州购买大学 为一个九人小组提供几件共用设备 从事基础植物生物学研究的调查人员。 使用该设备进行的研究包括：（1） 分子进化，（2）淀粉代谢，（3）分子生物学 植物解毒机制，（4）盐的运输，（5）嘌呤 植物代谢，（6）固氮，（7）谷类胚乳 发育;（8）蛋白质周转的分子机制 在植物中。 这些研究人员使用的植物材料各不相同， 将模式生物拟南芥转化为大豆、燕麦、芸苔属和 紫花苜蓿 拟购买的设备包括植物生长 室、寡核苷酸合成仪、分光光度计，以及 离心机 这些共享的设备将大大 促进大学植物生物学研究的进展 威斯康星州，并将增加已经活跃的互动之间 几个部门的植物科学家。

This award will assist the University of Wisconsin purchase several pieces of shared equipment for a group of nine investigators who are involved in basic plant biology research. The research to be pursued with the equipment includes; (1) molecular evolution, (2) starch metabolism, (3) molecular biology of plant detoxification mechanism, (4) salt transport, (5) purine metabolism in plants, (6) nitrogen fixation, (7) cereal endosperm development, and (8) the molecular mechanisms of protein turnover in plants. Plant materials used by these researchers vary from the model organism, Arabidopsis, to soybean, oats, Brassica and alfalfa. The equipment to be purchased includes plant growth chambers, an oligonucleotide synthesizer, spectrophotometer, and centrifuges. These shared pieces of equipment will greatly facilitate advances of plant biology research at the University of Wisconsin, and will increase already active interactions among plant scientists in several departments.
