Eighth International Symposium on Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions on July 14-19, 1996 in Knoxville, Tennessee

分子植物-微生物相互作用国际研讨会将于1996年召开第八次。会议将于1996年7月14日至19日在田纳西州诺克斯维尔举行。研讨会是在国际植物分子与微生物相互作用学会（ISMPMI）的主持下举行的。田纳西大学豆科研究中心的教员担任当地的组委会。目前正在与管理人员和ISMPMI董事会以及一个杰出的国际咨询委员会共同制定一个方案。该研讨会每两年举行一次，通常被认为是介绍植物与微生物相互作用的分子生物学研究成果的首要会议。要求资金用于抵消演讲者的费用，并为研究生、来自发展中国家的科学家以及来自传统黑人学院和大学的教师和学生提供奖学金。

Stacey 96-00053 The International Symposium on Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions will convene for the eighth time in 1996. The meeting will be held in Knoxville, Tennessee from July 14-19, 1996. The Symposium is being held under the auspices of the International Society if Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (ISMPMI). The faculty of the Center for Legume Research at the University of Tennessee is serving as the local organizing committee. A program is being developed in conjunction with the officers and board of the ISMPMI, as well as a distinguished International Advisory Board. This symposium held on a biennial basis is generally considered the premier meeting in which to present research results pertaining to the molecular biology of plant-microbe interactions. Funds are requested to offset speaker costs and to provide fellowship money for graduate students, scientists from developing countries, and faculty and students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
