Plant Biochemistry Course, '92 to be held in San Diego, CA, June 28-July 19, 1992

该奖项支持将于1992年6月28日至7月19日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举办的为期三周的植物生物化学暑期课程。生化反应根据细胞中的指令产生形式和功能。在过去的二十年里，我们对如何在植物中读取遗传指令的知识有了令人兴奋的发展。然而，有关代谢途径和这些途径的调节的信息仅略有增加。此外，由于对植物生物化学感兴趣的研究人员越来越少，年轻一代的植物生物学家了解植物生物化学知识的机会越来越少。这个暑期课程的目的是将植物生物界的注意力集中在植物细胞的形态和功能的生化问题上，这些问题可以利用近年来开发的工具进行有益的解决。挑选了20名讲师，他们都是植物生物化学的特定方面的专家，就植物生物化学的关键主题进行演讲和领导讨论。目标受众是高级研究生、博士后，根据细胞内发现的说明发挥作用。在过去的二十年里，我们对如何在植物中读取遗传指令的知识有了令人兴奋的发展。然而，有关代谢途径和这些途径的调节的信息仅略有增加。此外，由于对植物生物化学感兴趣的研究人员越来越少，年轻一代的植物生物学家了解植物生物化学知识的机会越来越少。这个暑期课程的目的是将植物生物界的注意力集中在植物细胞的形态和功能的生化问题上，这些问题可以利用近年来开发的工具进行有益的解决。挑选了20名讲师，他们都是植物生物化学的特定方面的专家，就植物生物化学的关键主题进行演讲和领导讨论。目标受众是在所在机构教授植物生物化学的高级研究生、博士后研究员和学院/大学教授。课程结束后，课堂讲稿将广泛提供给普通科学界，作为教授植物生物化学的辅助工具。该课程由美国农业部和能源部共同支持。

This award supports a three-week summer course on plant biochemistry to be held on June 28 - July 19, 1992 on the campus of U.C. San Diego. Biochemical reactions create form and function according to the instructions found in the cells. In the last two decades, there have been exciting developments in our knowledge of how genetic instructions are read in plants. However, the information about metabolic pathways and the regulation of these pathways has increased only marginally. In addition, younger generations of plant biologists have fewer and fewer opportunities to learn about what is known about plant biochemistry due to the decreasing number of investigators interested in the subject. This summer course is designed to focus attention of the plant biology community on the biochemical problems of form and function of plant cells that could profitably be addressed using the tools developed during recent years. Twenty lecturers, all experts on specific aspects of plant biochemistry, are selected to give lectures and lead discussion sessions on key topics in plant biochemistry. The target audience is advanced graduate students, postdoctoral function according tot he instructions found in the cells.

The target audience is advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and college/university professors who teach plant biochemistry at their institutions. After the course is completed, the lecture notes will be made available widely to the general scientific community as an aide to teach plant biochemistry. The course is supported jointly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy.
