The 15th International Conference of Plant Growth Substances in Minneapolis, MN, July 14-18, 1995

9507392请加德纳支持将于1995年7月14日至18日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的植物生长调节剂国际会议。这次会议将是国际植物生长物质协会(IPGSA)主办的一系列会议中的第15次。由于遗传学和分子克隆领域的技术进步，在理解植物激素的感知和作用方面取得了快速进展。这些进展导致了与激素信号感知有关的基因的识别，植物生物学家现在开始解开将激素受体与细胞反应联系起来的信号转导途径。第15届植物生长物质国际会议的目标是将在这一领域工作的研究人员聚集在一起，报告新的发展情况，分享新的想法。全体会议和专题讨论会将讨论的主题包括信号转导、基因表达的激素调节、生长过程的整合、转基因植物在激素研究中的使用和应用、新信号分子的识别、激素的生物合成和代谢以及激素的感知和敏感性。两位非植物生物学家Ira Herskowitz和Keith Yamamoto也被邀请参加我们的全体会议，以提供关于信号转导和基因表达的激素调节的话题的广度。该项目有望激动人心，并促进植物生长的研究。长期以来，这些化合物一直被认为对美国农业很重要，我们对它们作用的细胞和分子基础的了解对于农业的长期可持续性至关重要。

9507392 Gardner Support is requested for an international conference on plant growth regulators to be held in Minneapolis, MN, July 14-18, 1995. This conference will be the 15th in a series of conferences sponsored by the International Plant Growth Substance Association (IPGSA). Progress in understanding the perception and action of plant hormones is advancing at a rapid pace as a result of technological advances in the areas of genetics and molecular cloning. These advances have led to the identificaiton of genes that are involved in the perception of hormonal signals, and plant biologists are now beginning to unravel the signal transduction pathways that link hormone receptors to the cellular response. The goals of the 15th International Conference on Plant Growth Substances are to bring together researchers who are working in this field to report on new developments and to share new ideas. Topics to be covered in plenary sessions and symposia include signal transduction, hormonal regulation of gene expression, integration of growth processes, the use and application of transgenic plants in hormone research , identification of new signalling molecules, hormone biosynthesis and metabolism, and hormone perception and sensitivity. Two non-plant biologists, Ira Herskowitz and Keith Yamamoto, have also been invited to participate in our plenary sessions to provide breadth to the topics of signal transduction and hormonal regulation of gene expression. The program promises to be exciting and to stimulate research on plant growth. These compounds have long been established as important for U.S. agriculture, and our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of their action is essential for the long-term sustainability of agriculture.
