2010 Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) Meeting & 12th International Association for Plant Biotechnology (IAPB) Conference - June 6-11, 2010 in St. Louis (MO)

体外生物学协会（SIVB）为科学交流、教育和讨论与理解和利用作物发育过程有关的重要主题提供了一个场所。国际植物生物技术协会（IAPB）的目标是促进植物生物技术，包括细胞和组织培养应用。每四年一次（在美国境外举行的会议除外），SIVB和IAPB合作召开了一个更大的国际会议，重点是植物生物技术。今年，2010年SIVB/IAPB会议将于2010年6月6日至11日在圣路易斯（密苏里州）举行。 这次联席会议将整合从植物生物学基础研究到与商业产品生产相关的应用研究的主题。该计划涉及的主题将描述最新的植物生物学基础研究，并讨论基因组学和代谢组学的应用方面，以及基因表达，生物化学和生理学对植物发育生物学的影响。 将强调最先进技术在实际解决方案中的应用，包括植物对压力的耐受性，从植物中创造生物燃料以及生产药物和营养品的代谢工程等主题。国家科学基金会提供的资金将通过支付参与学生的费用，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的学生的费用，扩大参与。

The Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) provides a venue for scientific exchange, education and discussion on important topics related to the understanding and use of developmental processes of crop plants. The objective of the International Association for Plant Biotechnology (IAPB) is to promote plant biotechnology, including cell and tissue culture applications. Every four years (with the exception of meetings held outside the U.S.), SIVB and IAPB collaborate to convene a larger international conference focused on plant biotechnology. This year, the 2010 SIVB/IAPB conference will be held on June 6-11, 2010 in St. Louis (MO). This joint meeting will integrate topics from very basic research in plant biology to applied research related to the production of commercial products. The topics addressed in this program will describe up-to-date basic investigations into plant biology, and talks on applied aspects of genomics and metabolomics, as well as the effect of gene expression, biochemistry and physiology on plant developmental biology. Application of state-of-the-art technologies to practical solutions will be highlighted, including topics such as plant tolerance to stress, creation of biofuels from plants, and metabolic engineering for the production of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. The funding provided by NSF will broaden participation by defraying the costs of participation students, especially those from underrepresented groups.
