Conference: Travel Support for the 11th International Workshop for Plant Membrane Biology in Cambridge, England, on August 9-14, 1998

9728752施：该基金资助青年科学家参加在英国剑桥举行的第11届国际植物膜生物学研讨会（1998年8月9日至14日）。 会议的中心重点是讨论膜转运包括离子泵，共转运蛋白和离子通道，并在长距离运输的最新发展和发现。 控制离子和代谢物跨质膜和细胞器膜的运输是许多生命过程的一个不可或缺的功能，包括营养物质的输入和分配、发育中激素和环境信号的转导以及对环境胁迫的适应。 最近在这一领域取得了巨大和显著的进展。 这些资金将为年轻科学家提供一个难得的机会，使他们能够与一个国际科学家团体进行学习和互动，其中大多数科学家都没有在美国举行的会议上发言。 这是唯一一次将来自世界各地的如此庞大而多样化的植物膜生物学家聚集在一起的会议。

9728752 Sze This grant supports travel of young scientists to participate in the 11th International Workshop for Plant Membrane Biology in Cambridge, England (August 9-14, 1998). The central focus of the meeting is to discuss the latest developments and discoveries in membrane transport including ion pumps, cotransporters and ion channels, and in long distance transport. The control of ion and metabolite transport across plasma membranes and organellar membranes is a integral function of many life processes, including nutrient import and distribution, transduction of hormonal and environmental signals in development, and adaptation to environmental stress. Recent advances in this field have been dramatic and remarkable. The funds will provide a rare opportunity for young scientists to learn and interact with an international group of scientists, most of whom have not spoken at meetings held in the United States. This is the only meeting that brings such a large and diverse group of plant membrane biologists together from all over the world.
