"Conference: 2006 Plant Cell Walls Gordon Conference Will be Held on July 30-August 4, 2006 at the University of New England, Biddeford, Maine."

题目：第四届戈登植物细胞壁研究会议spi: Nicholas Carpita，普渡大学；copi: Debra Mohnen，乔治亚大学；nancy Grey，戈登研究会议第四届戈登植物细胞壁研究会议将于2006年7月30日至8月4日在缅因州比德福德的新英格兰大学举行。细胞壁决定了植物细胞的最终大小和形状，因此也决定了植物的高度和形状。植物将超过10%的基因组用于构建细胞壁。知识价值：本次会议将讨论我们对植物细胞壁的组成、合成和结构以及它们在生长和分化过程中的动力学的理解的主要进展。它将汇集来自学术界，工业界和政府实验室的国际科学家，分享植物细胞壁生物学的最新基础科学突破。由于细胞壁是人类和动物食物、饲料、纤维和医学活性化合物的极其重要的来源，特别会议将重点介绍植物细胞壁在人类社会的医学和实际应用方面取得的进展。更广泛的影响：为了促进跨学科研究，我们还特别邀请了植物生物学领域以外的演讲者。该奖项将用于支持参与者，重点是年轻科学家，少数民族和代表性不足的科学家参加会议并推进他们在植物生物学方面的职业生涯。在戈登会议的传统中，提交的材料被认为是特权，供与会者讨论，但不能出版。这一政策促进了会议上创造性的交流。

Title: 4th Gordon Research Conference on Plant Cell WallsPI: Nicholas Carpita, Purdue UniversityCoPI: Debra Mohnen, University of GeorgiaNancy Grey, Gordon Resarch ConferenceThe Fourth Gordon Research Conference on Plant Cell Walls will be held July 30-August4, 2006, at the University of New England, Biddeford, Maine. Cell walls constrain thefinal sizes and shapes of plant cells, and therefore the stature and form of plants. Plantsinvest over 10% of their genomes in building their cell walls. Intellectual Merit:This conference will address the major advances in our understanding of the composition,synthesis, and architecture of plant cell walls and their dynamics during growth anddifferentiation. It will bring together international scientists from academia, industry andgovernment labs to share the latest fundamental scientific breakthroughs in plant cell wallbiology. As cell walls are an enormously important source of food, feed, fiber andmedically active compounds for humans and animals, a special session will focus on theadvances made in the medical and practical uses of plant cell walls for human society.Broader Impacts:To foster interdisciplinary research, a special effort has also been made to invite speakersfrom outside the field of plant biology. This award will be used to support participants with emphasis on younger scientists, minorities and underrepresented scientists to participate in the meeting and to advance their careers in plant biology. In the tradition of Gordon Conference, material presented is considered priviledged, for discussion among participants but not for publication. This policy stimulates creative interchange at the conference.
