RCN: Plant Cell Wall Biosynthesis Research Network

将建立SUMMARYA项目《植物细胞壁生物合成研究网络》(WallBioNet)。WallBioNet的目标是：(1)创建和维护一个网站，作为研究植物细胞壁生物合成的研究人员的信息资源。(2)协调和部分支持获得多糖生物合成所需的底物以及参与植物细胞壁生物合成整个过程的其他酶所需的底物。(3)为使用不同技术研究植物细胞壁生物合成的实验室之间建立研究生和博士后研究人员交流机制。(4)组织并为小型研讨会提供部分支持，以制定和确定下一个十年墙体生物合成研究的目标和方向。(5)建立一个小组，为真正的植物细胞壁生物合成基因和突变体的命名提出命名规则。WallBioNet网站将由密歇根州立大学的PI协调和管理。供体和受体底物的生产和分配将由复杂的碳酸盐研究中心的Co-PI协调和管理。关于WallBioNet网站的内容和格式、资金分配、命名委员会的提名以及WallBioNet研讨会-专题讨论会的组织将由一个指导委员会作出决定，该委员会的成员代表细胞壁生物合成的不同领域。WallBioNet将鼓励来自不同学科的研究人员共同努力，识别壁面生物合成基因，并了解多种酶如何共同作用来合成植物细胞壁。核心参与者：丹尼尔·科斯格罗夫，宾夕法尼亚州立大学；壁基质的重组，加州大学戴维斯分校；纤维素生物合成，肯尼斯·基格斯特拉，密歇根州立大学；木聚糖生物合成，黛布拉·莫宁，佐治亚大学；果胶生物合成，克里斯·萨默维尔，华盛顿卡内基研究所；遗传和基因组方法，佛蒙特州大学玛丽·蒂尔尼；壁结构蛋白生物合成0090281

PROJECT SUMMARYA "Plant Cell Wall Biosynthesis Research Network" (WallBioNet) will be established. The goals of WallBioNet are to: (1) Create and maintain a web site to serve as an information resource for researchers studying plant cell wall biosynthesis. (2) Coordinate and partially support the acquisition of substrates needed for polysaccharide biosynthesis as well as for other enzymes involved in the overall process of plant cell wall biosynthesis. (3) Develop a mechanism for the exchange of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers between laboratories that use different techniques to study plant cell wall biosynthesis. (4) Organize and provide partial support for small workshop-symposia to develop and define the goals and direction for wall biosynthesis research for the next decade. (5) Establish a group that will suggest nomenclature rules for the naming of authentic plant cell wall biosynthetic genes and mutants. The WallBioNet web site will be coordinated and managed by the PI at Michigan State University. The production and distribution of donor and acceptor substrates will be coordinated and managed by the Co-PI at the Complex Carbohdyrate Research Center. Decisions regarding the content and format of the WallBioNet web site, the allocation of funds, nomination of a nomenclature committee, and organization of the WallBioNet workshop-symposium will be made by a Steering Committee whose members represent diverse areas of cell wall biosynthesis. The WallBioNet will encourage researchers from diverse disciplines to work together to identify wall biosynthetic genes and to understand how the multiple enzymes work together to synthesize the plant cell wall.Core Participants:Daniel Cosgrove, Penn State Univ; reorganization of the wall matrix by expansinsDeborah Delmer, University of California, Davis; cellulose biosynthesisKenneth Keegstra, Michigan State Univ; xyloglucan biosynthesisDebra Mohnen, Univ of Georgia; pectin biosynthesisChris Somerville, Carnegie Institute of Washington; genetic and genomic approaches Mary Tierney, University of Vermont; biosynthesis of wall structural proteins0090281
