US-Pakistan Workshop: Molecular Biology, Gentics, Genomics and Breeding With Focus on Abiotic Stress Tolerace of Cereal Crops, March 2003, Lahore, Pakistan

0234721BohnertDescription：该项目支持将于2003年3月在巴基斯坦拉合尔举行的美国-巴基斯坦分子生物学、遗传学、基因组学和育种研讨会，重点是谷类作物的非生物抗逆性。美国组织者是伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校生物和作物科学系的汉斯·博纳特博士。巴基斯坦的组织者是巴基斯坦拉合尔旁遮普大学分子生物学卓越中心的Tayyab Husnain博士和巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡巴基斯坦原子能委员会成员/生物学Kauser Malik博士。研讨会的主题是“决定胁迫反应的生理和农学参数，传统育种技术与分子标记技术的结合”，以及“关于基因组类型研究的信息交流，旨在了解胁迫耐受性决定因素，并将模式植物突变研究的结果应用于谷类作物及其改良。”将涵盖的主题包括：胁迫耐性的机制，与胁迫耐性相关的功能基因组学，以及引入胁迫耐性性状的植物转化。会议过程将确定优先考虑的领域，以及合作研究的文献指南。范围：研讨会的结果将包括确定联合研究，这些研究将使美国、巴基斯坦和其他国家受益，这些国家必须在干旱、高温和盐碱等植物生长压力条件下种植谷类作物。

0234721BohnertDescription: This project supports a U.S.-Pakistan Workshop on Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genomics and Breeding, with Focus on Abiotic Stress Tolerance of Cereal Crops, to be held in Lahore, Pakistan in March 2003. The U.S. organizer is Dr. Hans Bohnert, Department of Biology and Crop Science, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. The Pakistani organizers are Dr. Tayyab Husnain, Center of Excellence in Molecular Biology, Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan and Dr. Kauser Malik, Member/Biology, Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, Islamabad, Pakistan. The workshop themes are "the physiological and agronomical parameters determining stress responses, and the integration of traditional breeding techniques with molecular marker technology," and "the exchange of information about genomic type studies directed towards the understanding of stress tolerance determinants and the application of results from mutational studies in model plants to cereal crops and their improvement." The subjects to be covered include: mechanism of stress tolerance, functional genomics related to stress tolerance, and plant transformation for introduction of stress tolerance traits. The proceedings will identify selected areas of high priority, as well as a literature guide for cooperative research.Scope: The results of the workshop will include identifying joint research that would benefit the United States, Pakistan and other countries that must cultivate cereal crops under stressful plant growth conditions including drought, excessive heat, and salinity.
