Gordon Research Conference on Temperature Stress in Plant, Oxnard, California, January 29 - February 3, 1995

该奖项为1995年戈登植物温度胁迫研究会议提供部分资金支持。 会议将于1995年1月29日至2月3日在加州奥克斯纳德的卡萨塞雷纳码头旅馆举行。 资金将用于支付初级科学家（研究生和博士后研究人员）和特邀演讲者的费用。 1995年戈登植物温度胁迫研究会议将是该会议的第六次会议;它于1984年首次举行，自1989年以来，每两年举行一次。 会议的总体目标是促进从各种角度研究植物温度胁迫的不同科学家群体之间的思想和研究成果的交流。 参加这次会议的科学家包括农学家，园艺家，植物育种家，生态学家，植物生理学家，生物化学家，生物植物学家和分子生物学家，他们隶属于大学，私人和政府研究实验室以及来自北美和海外的商业公司。 与过去一样，1995年戈登会议将包括涵盖植物温度胁迫基本方面最新发展的会议（例如，温度胁迫蛋白、温度信号转导、整株植物对温度胁迫的响应、提高温度胁迫耐受性的育种）。 此外，1995年的会议将有两个新的特点。 其中一个将是在会议过程中发展一个特定的主题：膜在温度应力耐受性中的作用。 目的是探讨植物磷脂的调节和功能的最新知识和潜在的策略，以改变磷脂组成，以提高植物的温度胁迫耐受性。 另一个新颖的方面将是包括一个“交叉”会议，审查温度和干旱耐受性机制的相似性和差异。 本次会议将涉及研究人员对干旱和干燥耐受性的介绍，并为在环境压力相关领域工作的植物科学家提供一个桥梁，但温度本身除外。 ***

9414040 Thomashow This award provides partial financial support for the 1995 Gordon Research Conference on Temperature Stress in Plants. The meeting will be held at the Casa Sirena Marina Hotel, Oxnard, California, January 29 - February 3, 1995. Funds will be used to defray the expenses of junior scientists (graduate students and postdoctoral researchers), and invited speakers. The 1995 Gordon Research Conference on Temperature Stress in Plants will be the sixth meeting of the conference; it was first held in 1984, and since 1989, has met on a biennial basis. The overall goal of the conference is to foster the exchange of ideas and research findings among a diverse group of scientists studying plant temperature stress from a wide variety of perspectives. Scientists who attend this meeting include agronomists, horticulturists, plant breeders, ecologists, plant physiologists, biochemists, biophysicists and molecular biologists who are affiliated with universities, private and governmental research laboratories, and commercial companies from both North America and overseas. As in the past, the 1995 Gordon Conference will include sessions covering the latest developments in fundamental aspects of plant temperature stress (e.g., temperature stress proteins, temperature signal transduction, whole plant responses to temperature stress, breeding for increased temperature stress tolerance). In addition, the 1995 conference will have two novel features. One will be the development of a particular theme over the course of the meeting: the role of membranes in temperature stress tolerance. The objective is to explore the current state of knowledge of the regulation and function of plant phospholipids and potential strategies to modify phospholipid composition to improve the temperature stress tolerance of plants. The other novel aspect will be the inclusion of a "cross-over" session examining the similarities and differences in mechanisms of temperature and drought tolerance. This session will involve presentations by investigators working on tolerance to drought and desiccation and provide a bridge to plant scientists working in related areas of environmental stress, but outside of temperature per se. ***
