U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Voltage Dependent Calcium Channels in Higher Plants

这个为期三年的奖项支持美国加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Julian T. Schroeder和法国图卢兹Paul Sabatier大学的Raoul Ranjeva在植物分子生物学方面的合作研究。该奖项为施罗德博士和一名研究生提供旅行支持。该研究的目的是提高对钙内流在植物细胞信号传导中触发的机制的认识。它为现有的国家科学基金会拨款增加了一个国际维度，并利用了美国和法国研究人员的互补专业知识。

This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in plant molecular biology between Julian T. Schroeder of the University of California at San Diego and Raoul Ranjeva of the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France. The award provides travel support to Dr. Schroeder and a graduate student. The objective of the research is to improve knowledge of the mechanism by which calcium influx is triggered in plant cell signaling. It adds an international dimension to an existing NSF grant and takes advantage of the U.S. and French investigators' complementary expertise.
