Conference on Emerging Model Legume Systems, to be held July 12-14, 1996 in Knoxville, Tennessee

该奖项为新兴模型Legum系统-工具和进展会议提供了部分支持。会议将于1996年7月12日至14日在田纳西州的诺克斯维尔举行，就在第八届分子-植物微生物相互作用国际大会之前。会议有两个目标：(A)讨论遗传和分子分析工具，以及应用这些方法的精选进展；(B)促进研究二倍体一年生豆科植物模型系统的研究人员之间的交流和互动。会议的形式将包括邀请和贡献的演讲和讨论部分。在过去的五年中，人们对模型系统的兴趣日益增加，以促进豆类发育的遗传和分子遗传分析。这次会议将汇集来自世界各地的研究人员，讨论如何协调所有相关方的活动。

9601016 VandenBosch This award provides partial support for a Conference on Emerging Model Legum Systems - Tools and Advances. The meeting will take place July 12 - 14, 1996 in Knoxville, Tennessee, immediately prior to the 8th International Congress on Molecular-Plant Microbe Interactions. The meeting has two objectives: (A) to present a discussion of tools for genetic and molecular analysis, plus selected advances which have applied these approaches, and (B) to foster communication and interactions among researchers working on diploid annual legumes as model systems. The format for the gathering will include invited and contributed talks and discussion sections. Several means are planned to communicate the proceedings of the conference, including a meeting review article in The Plant Cell and the establishment of a home page for model legumes The last five years have seen an increased interest in model systems to facilitate genetic and molecular genetic analysis of development in legumes. This meeting will bring together researchers from all over the world to discuss how to coordinate activities of all interested parties.
