Conference: FASEB meeting support - Mechanisms of Plant Development, August 15-19, 2010, Saxons River, Vermont

请拨资金以支持将于2010年8月15日至19日在佛蒙特州撒克逊河举行的第11届植物发展机制国际会议。这个每半年召开一次的会议将汇集生物学家，利用遗传、基因组和细胞生物学方法研究植物发育机制。这次会议将涵盖植物发展的广泛领域，包括模式、短和长距离信号、细胞类型分化、发育中的表观遗传学以及进化和发育方面的会议。被邀请的演讲者包括世界植物发展研究领域的领导者以及处于独立职业生涯早期阶段的年轻科学家。这次会议的规模较小(约130人)，将促进讨论，并确保密切和持续的互动。计划举行三次海报宣传活动。研究生和博士后研究员将被强烈鼓励提交海报摘要；大约25%的发言者将从这些提交的摘要中挑选出来。还将大力鼓励少数群体和女性科学家参与；这将通过确定和鼓励个人以及通过广泛宣传会议来实现。

Funds are requested to support attendance at the 11th International Conference on Mechanisms of Plant Development, which will take place from August 15-19 2010 in Saxons River, Vermont. This semi-annual conference will bring together biologists studying plant developmental mechanisms using genetic, genomic and cell biological approaches. This meeting will cover broad areas of plant development, including sessions on patterning, short and long distance signaling, cell type differentiation, epigenetics in development, and evolution and development. Invited speakers include a combination of worldwide leaders in plant developmental research as well as younger scientists who are in the early stages of their independent careers. The small size of this meeting (approximately 130 participants) will facilitate discussion and insure close and sustained interactions. Three poster sessions are planned. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will be strongly encouraged to submit poster abstracts; approximately 25% of the speakers will be chosen from these submitted abstracts. Participation by minority and female scientists will also be strongly encouraged; this will be achieved by identification and encouragement of individuals, as well as by advertising the conference widely.
