U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Regulation of Gene Expression in C. reinhardtii Chloroplasts

这项为期三年的植物遗传学合作研究奖由戴维·B·斯特恩、康奈尔大学博伊斯·汤普森植物研究所和法国巴黎国家科学研究中心弗朗西斯-安德烈·沃尔曼生物研究所的研究实验室共同参与。该奖项为斯特恩博士、他的博士后研究人员和研究生提供旅行支持和生活保障。本研究的目的是研究单细胞绿藻莱茵衣藻叶绿体基因表达的调控。该项目利用了法国在定性方面的专门知识，并提供了对突变体进行荧光分析的专门设备。这将促进对叶绿体基因表达的理解。

This three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in plant genetics involves the research group of David B. Stern, the Boyce Thompson Institute For Plant Research, Cornell University, and the research laboratory of Francis-Andre Wollman, Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique at the French National Center for Scientific Research in Paris, France. The award provides travel support and subsistence to Dr. Stern, his postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. The objective of the research is to characterize the regulation of chloroplast gene expression in unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii. The project takes advantage of French expertise in characterization and provides access to specialized equipment for the fluorescence analysis of mutants. It will advance understanding of chloroplast gene expression.
