Financial Support for the 9th Annual Penn State Symposium inPlant Physiology

这项提案要求为受邀参加1994年5月19日至21日在宾夕法尼亚州州立大学举行的第九届宾夕法尼亚州立大学植物生理学研讨会的演讲者提供部分旅费支持。1994年的主题是“花粉-雌蕊相互作用”。本次研讨会将汇集杰出的科学家，他们将就花粉和雌蕊的发育、花粉与柱头的相互作用(例如花粉被的性质和孢子体自交不亲和)、花粉管中的生长机制和类似系统(如根毛和真菌菌丝)、花粉花柱相互作用(例如授粉后信号和配子体自交不亲和)、花粉选择(非随机受精)和受精过程等最近的研究进行批判性的分析和综合。基础植物科学家和应用植物科学家对这一主题都非常感兴趣。这次研讨会的目标之一是促进学术界、政府和工业界从基础研究到应用研究的各个级别的科学家之间的互动和交流。

This proposal requests support for a portion of the travel costs of speakers invited to participate in the 9th Annual Penn State Symposium in Plant Physiology to be held May 19- 21, 1994, in State College, Pennsylvania. The topic for 1994 is "Pollen-pistil interactions". This symposium will bring together outstanding scientists who will provide critical analyses and syntheses of recent research concerning the development of pollen and pistils, pollen- stigma interactions (e.g., the nature of the pollen coat and sporophytic self-incompatibility), the mechanisms of growth in pollen tubes and analagous systems such as root hairs and fungal hyphae, pollen-style interactions (e.g., post- pollination signaling and gametophytic self- incompatibility), pollen selection (non-random fertilization) and the processes of fertilization. This topic is of tremendous interest to both basic and applied plant scientists. One of the goals for this symposium is to foster interaction and communication among scientists of all ranks working in academia, government and industry spanning the spectrum from basic to applied research.
