Conference: Plant Cell Dynamics 2017; May 30-June 2; Madison, WI

揭示细胞器和细胞动力学的基本机制是需要一个全面的模型，植物生长和发育，以及了解植物如何适应他们的环境。这些知识对于基础植物细胞生物学的根本性进展和促进未来的农业应用至关重要。2017年植物细胞动力学会议将于2017年5月30日至6月2日在威斯康星州大学麦迪逊校区举行，重点是为植物细胞生物学家提供学习定量方法分析细胞动力学和功能的机会，包括活细胞成像和计算工具。它还将为学生，博士后科学家和新的研究人员提供一个场所，与植物细胞生物学领域的知名领导者进行互动，从而为各级学生和学员的职业发展提供积极的影响。通过鼓励和支持来自代表性不足的群体的受训人员的出席，会议将扩大对这一发展中领域的参与，该领域采用定量，预测和理论驱动的生物学技术，并鼓励多学科方法。会议将包括来自植物细胞生物学领域专家的主题演讲，内容涉及适合定量研究的方法，这些研究探讨植物细胞如何整合代谢，细胞骨架组织和囊泡运输整体细胞功能。此外，还将有机会由受训人员进行口头和海报介绍，并参加关于样品制备、长期延时成像和图像处理的实践讲习班。 该项目由分子和细胞生物科学部沿着与综合有机体系统支持。

Uncovering fundamental mechanisms of organelle and cell dynamics is required for a comprehensive model of plant growth and development as well as for understanding how plants adapt to their environment. Such knowledge is critical for fundamental advances in basic plant cell biology and promoting future applications to agriculture. The 2017 Plant Cell Dynamics conference, to be held May 30-June 2, 2017 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison campus will focus on providing opportunities for plant cell biologists to learn quantitative approaches to analyze cellular dynamics and function, including live cell imaging and computational tools. It will also provide a venue for students, postdoctoral scientists, and new investigators to interact with established leaders in the field of plant cell biology, thus providing positive impacts on career development for students and trainees at all levels. By encouraging and supporting attendance of trainees from underrepresented groups, the conference will broaden participation in this developing field, which employs techniques of quantitative, predictive, and theory-driven biology, and encourages multidisciplinary approaches. The conference will include keynote talks from experts in the field of plant cell biology on methodology appropriate for quantitative studies that probe how plant cells integrate metabolism, cytoskeletal organization, and vesicle trafficking in overall cellular function. In addition, there will be opportunities for oral and poster presentations by trainees and participation in hands-on workshops on sample preparation, long-term time-lapse imaging, and image processing. This project is supported by the Divisions of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences along with Integrative Organismal Systems.
