Sixth International Conference on Juvenile Hormone, September 10-15, 1995, Woods Hole, Masssachusetts

9418745请格兰杰基金支持将于1995年9月10日至15日在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔举行的题为“第六届青少年激素国际会议”的科学会议。会议的目的是介绍和讨论调节昆虫生长、发育和繁殖的幼体激素（JH）内分泌学的最新进展。讨论的主题如下：1)幼年激素的进化；2) JH生物合成与代谢；3) JH运输监管；4) JH生产的调控；5)细胞上的JH受体；6)作用方式和jh调控基因；7) JH在生殖中的作用；8) JH研究新技术；9)应用研究的最新进展。除了专题讲座外，还将有简短的讲座和海报会议。会议记录将在《昆虫生物化学与生理学档案》两卷本中发表。这是一个传统的小型会议，有80-100名与会者来自美国、加拿大、欧洲、以色列、印度、中国和日本。每次会议的主讲人将从注册者中选出，其他主讲人和海报制作者将根据提交的摘要选出。一直鼓励学生和博士后的参与。这次会议的重点是独特的，吸引了许多不同基础和应用科学学科的科学家，讨论昆虫生长和发育的重要方面的研究进展。＊＊＊

9418745 Granger Funds are requested to support a scientific conference entitled "Sixth International Conference on the Juvenile Hormones" to be held September 10-15, 1995 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The purpose of the meeting is the presentation and discussion of recent developments in the endocrinology of the juvenile hormones (JH) which regulate growth, development, and reproduction in the insects. The following topics will be discussed: 1) the evolution of juvenile hormones; 2) JH biosynthesis and metabolism; 3) regulation of transport by JH; 4) regulation of JH production; 5) JH receptors on cells; 6) mode of action and JH-regulated genes; 7) the role of JH in reproduction; 8) new technology in JH research; and 9) recent developments in applied research. In addition to feature lectures, there will be shorter talks and poster sessions. The proceedings of the meeting will be published in a double volume of Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology. This is traditionally a small meeting, with its 80-100 participants coming from the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, India, China and Japan. Principal speakers to head each session are chosen from the registrants, with additional speakers and poster presenters chosen on the basis of submitted abstracts. Participation of students and post-doctoral fellows has always been encouraged. This conference is unique in its focus and draws scientists working in many different basic and applied scientific disciplines for discussions of the research progress in very important aspects of insect growth and development. ***
