Meeting: FASEB Conference on Mechanisms in Plant Development Meeting to be held on July 28 - August 2, 2019 at St. Bonaventura University, Olean (NY)

第17届美国实验生物学学会国际联合会（FASEB）植物发育机制会议将于2019年7月28日至8月2日在纽约奥利安的圣文德大学举行。本次会议将汇集来自世界各地的领先研究人员，交流未发表的想法和先进的概念和植物发育生物学领域的新研究方向。特邀演讲者会议将集中在植物发育的广泛领域，如“建立身体计划”，“细胞-细胞通信”，“发育可塑性”，“维持分生组织”和“细胞专业化”。在NSF的支持下，会议将通过大量的网络机会，海报会议和职业发展研讨会，促进早期职业科学家和那些代表性不足的群体的参与和认可。会议在过去的25年中定期举行，是一个独特的国际会议，完全致力于植物发育生物学领域。会议的规模很小，导致了对这个令人兴奋和快速发展的领域中的新想法和新兴技术的激烈讨论。它将汇集植物生物学家使用进化，遗传，基因组，细胞生物学和计算方法交换意见。会议包括来自世界各地的杰出研究人员，介绍了控制新组织建立和导致植物体计划自组织的机制的前沿，未发表的研究。该会议是一个重要而独特的科学会议，通过讲座、海报会议和密集的科学讨论，探讨植物发育、信号传导、建模和基因组学的交叉点。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 17th International Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) meeting on Mechanisms in Plant Development will be held on July 28 - August 2, 2019 at St. Bonaventure University in Olean, New York. This meeting will bring together leading researchers from around the world to exchange unpublished ideas and advance concepts and new research directions for the field of plant developmental biology. Invited speaker sessions will focus on broad areas of plant development such as "Establishing the Body Plan", "Cell-Cell Communication", "Developmental Plasticity", "Maintaining the Meristem", and "Cellular Specialization". With NSF support, the meeting will promote the participation and recognition of early career scientists and those from underrepresented groups through numerous networking opportunities, poster sessions and career development workshops.The conference, which has been held at regular intervals for the past 25 years, is a unique international meeting devoted entirely to the field of plant developmental biology. The small size of the meeting leads to intense discussion of new ideas and emerging techniques in this exciting and rapidly moving field. It will bring together plant biologists using evolutionary, genetic, genomic, cell biological and computational approaches for exchange of ideas. The meeting includes outstanding researchers from around the world, presenting cutting edge, unpublished research on the mechanisms that control establishment of new tissues and lead to the self-organization of the plant body plan. This conference is an important and unique scientific meeting where the intersections of plant development, signaling, modeling and genomics are explored through talks, poster sessions, and intensive scientific discussion.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
