U.S. Japan Seminar: Molecular, Physiological, and Ecological Aspects of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation; October 1995, Kasoshima, Japan

9418732史黛西 该奖项支持六名美国科学家参加美国- 关于共生固氮的分子、生理和生态方面的日本研讨会，拟于1995年10月在日本鹿儿岛鹿儿岛大学举行。 共同组织者是田纳西大学的加里斯泰西博士和鹿儿岛大学的东史郎博士。美国和日本都支持共生固氮的重大努力，两国研究小组之间的互动将加速进展。 研讨会的主题领域包括共生固氮相互作用中的植物宿主和细菌对应物，以及从酶学，分子遗传学，植物细胞生物学，整株植物生理学，生态学，最终到植物遗传学和作物生产的主题。 这次会议是一系列美国-日本在这一领域举办了十年的研讨会。 虽然一个核心的个人提供了会议的连续性，但多年来研讨会的参与者发生了变化，以反映美国和日本参与者之间的适当配对以及研究的进展。 美国参与者在共生固氮的整个领域提供了广泛的专业知识和地理代表性，并根据美国最活跃的研究人员进行选择，因此，该提案通过国际合作实现了该计划在科学知识交流和转让方面的目标。 ***

9418732 Stacey This award supports the participation of six U.S. scientists in a U.S.- Japan seminar on Molecular, Physiological, and Ecological Aspects of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation, to be held at Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan in October 1995. The co-organizers are Dr. Gary Stacey of the University of Tennessee and Dr. Shiro Higashi of Kagoshima University Both the U.S. and Japan are supporting major efforts in symbiotic nitrogen fixation and interaction between the research groups of both countries will accelerate progress. The seminar topic areas encompass both the plant host and bacterial counterpart in the symbiotic nitrogen fixing interaction, as well as topics ranging from enzymology, molecular genetics, plant cell biology, whole plant physiology, ecology, and ultimately to plant genetics and crop production. This meeting is the third in a series of U.S.-Japan seminars in this field held over a period of 10 years. Although a core of individuals has provided continuity from meeting to meeting, participants in the seminars have changed through the years to reflect an appropriate pairing between U.S. and Japanese participants and the progress of the research. The U.S. participants provide a broad cross section of expertise and geographical representation in the overall area of symbiotic nitrogen fixation, 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. ***
