U.S.-Japan Seminar: Molecular Aspects of Pathogenicity of Resistance-Requirement for Signal Transduction/ September, 1995/Ise-City, Japan

9416934米尔斯该奖项支持11名美国科学家参加将于1995年9月24日至29日在日本伊势市Mie Kohseinenkin度假中心举行的关于致病性的分子方面的美日研讨会。联合组织者是俄勒冈州立大学的Dallice Mills博士和Mie大学的Hitoshi Kooh教授。本次研讨会的主题是信号转导途径在细胞/细胞交流中的作用，以及在宿主和病原体之间建立相容和不相容的相互作用。拟讨论的一般主题包括：关于植物与病原菌之间基因相互作用的新概念，病原菌形态发生和病原学中信号转导途径的诱导和调控，病原菌激发子和植物抗性基因的分子特征，植物/微生物识别的分子和生理基础，毒素在疾病中的作用和寄主-病原菌专一性，以及寄主植物对病原菌的抗性基因工程。这次会议是近30年来美日在这一领域举行的一系列研讨会中的第七次。研讨会的参与者随着时间的推移而变化，以反映美国和日本科学家之间的适当配对和研究进展。美国的参与者在植物寄主/病原体相互作用的一般领域提供了广泛的专业知识和地理代表性，并根据他们是美国最活跃的研究人员而被挑选出来。因此，这项建议实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。***

9416934 Mills This award supports the participation of 11 U.S. scientists in a U.S.- Japan seminar on Molecular Aspects of Pathogenicity, to be held at the Mie Kohseinenkin Vacation Center at Ise-city, Japan from September 24-29, 1995. The co-organizers are Dr. Dallice Mills of Oregon State University and Professor Hitoshi Kunoh of Mie University. The main theme of this seminar is the role of signal transduction pathways in cell/cell communication and the establishment of compatible and incompatible interactions between hosts and their pathogens. The proposed general topics to be discussed include: new concepts regarding genic interactions between plants and pathogens, the induction and regulation of signal transduction pathways in pathogen morphogenesis and etiology, the molecular characterization of pathogen elicitors and plant resistance genes, the molecular and physiological basis of plant/microbe recognition, the role of toxins in disease and host-pathogen specificity, and the genetic engineering of host plant resistance to pathogens. This meeting is the seventh in a series of U.S.-Japan seminars in this field held over a period of almost 30 years. Participants in the seminars change through the years to reflect an appropriate pairing between U.S. and Japanese scientists and the progress of the research. The U.S. participants provide a broad cross section of expertise and geographical representation in the general area of plant host/pathogen interactions, and were selected on the basis of being the most active researchers in the U.S. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
