Support for 2002 Annual Meeting Phytochemical Society of N. America, in Merida, Mexico, July 20-24, 2002.

北美植物化学学会2002年年会将（首次）汇集化学生态学家、生物化学家、天然产物化学家、分子生物学家、生物医学研究人员和民族植物学家/药理学家，目的是综合这些传统和现代方法。 研讨会将讨论这些子学科如何相互通报植物产品的进化、功能和潜在应用。 提交的报告也将涉及会议主题，“综合植物化学：从民族植物学到分子生态学”。 这次会议将提供一个前所未有的生物学，化学，社会学和医学的交叉，并应产生真正新颖的，国际和跨文化的合作机会。 会议将在墨西哥梅里达举行;与会者将来自北美和欧洲各地（至少），预计墨西哥和其他拉丁美洲科学家和学生将派代表参加。 会议组织者通过组织“年轻研究人员”研讨会，并寻求学生，博士后和初级研究人员的旅行支持，突出学生和年轻科学家的参与。 会议记录将作为一卷在广泛阅读的“植物化学的最新进展”系列出版。

The 2002 annual meeting of the Phytochemical Society of North America will bring together (for the first time) chemical ecologists, biochemists, natural products chemists, molecular biologists, biomedical researchers and ethnobotanists/pharmacologists with the goal of developing an integrative synthesis of these traditional and modern approaches. Symposia will address ways in which these subdisciplines can inform each other about the evolution, function, and potential applications of plant products. Submitted presentations also will address the meeting theme, "Integrative Phytochemistry: From Ethnobotany to Molecular Ecology". This meeting will provide an unprecedented intersection of biology, chemistry, sociology and medecine and should produce truly novel, international and cross-cultural collaborative opportunities. The meeting will be held in Merida, Mexico; attendees will come from all over North America and Europe (at least), and strong representation by Mexican and other Latin American scientists and students is expected. Meeting organizers highlight participation by students and younger scientists by organizing a 'young researcher' symposium and seeking support for travel by students, postdocs, and junior researchers. Proceedings will be published as a volume in the widely-read "Recent Advances in Phytochemistry" series.
