0228340DanglThis meeting will impact several very diverse areas of plant science, from disease and disease resistance to various aspects of plant cell death control during normal development and response to plant hormones. As such, the meeting will attract a very diverse audience. Programmed cell deaths occur at many stages in normal plant growth and development, and is also induced during successful response to infection (the common hypersensitive response) and in response to abiotic stress, particularly those stress responses involving reactive oxygen intermediates. Yet, despite the physiological characterization of a variety of programmed cell deaths over the last 20 years, very little is know about the molecular control of either cell death signaling or cell execution. Moreover, analyses of the complete Arabidopsis and draft rice genomic sequences show that there are no obvious homologues of the common animal cell death control genes in plants. Nevertheless, several studies have shown that expression of animal anti- or pro-cell death control genes in plants can either block or exacerbate plant cell death, respectively. These data argue that some of the mechanisms may be shared between plant and animal cell death control. The meeting proposed will address these issues. This interdisciplinary meeting will result in much cross feeding of disciplines as diverse as plant hormone physiology and plant genomics. A broad participant portfolio with respect to organism studied and biological question asked is assured. The meeting will stress the notion that research in easily accessible models must be translated to scientists applying that basic knowledge to crop plant biology. Thus, the meeting will foster translational agriculture. In order to achieve this goal, the organizers will select participants with broad sets of educational and experiential backgrounds. As part of this aspect of designing the meeting, they will be particularly aware of increasing participation of women, under-represented ethnic groups, and under-represented institutions of higher learning. The speakers include nearly every relevant female principal investigator working in this arena today. The Keystone Symposia are very educationally and community oriented and the selection criteria will include the ideal of capturing the widest participant pool possible while maintaining scientific excellence. The Keystone Symposia are advertised by direct mailings to a huge number of higher educational institutions and the organizers have already received inquiries from potential participants from very "out of the way" universities and colleges. Finally, and perhaps most critically, the organizers have included as many early career scientists as possible. In fact, this NSF award will go exclusively to defraying the costs of doctoral students and non-tenured principal investigators. The organizers will prioritize these to fund as many participants as possible from non-standard research I universities, and will use the guidelines established above to guide our choices.

0228340DANGLINTHIS THINIS会议将影响植物科学的几个非常多样化的领域，从疾病和疾病的耐药性到正常发育期间植物细胞死亡控制的各个方面，并对植物激素的反应。因此，会议将吸引非常多样化的受众。程序性细胞死亡发生在正常植物生长和发育中的许多阶段，并且在成功反应（常见的超敏反应）和对非生物压力的反应过程中也被诱导，尤其是涉及活性氧中间体的压力反应。然而，尽管过去20年中各种程序性细胞死亡的生理表征，但对细胞死亡信号传导或细胞执行的分子​​控制知之甚少。此外，对完全拟南芥和水稻基因组序列草案的分析表明，植物中常见的动物细胞死亡控制基因没有明显的同源物。然而，一些研究表明，植物中动物抗或亲细胞死亡控制基因的表达分别可以阻止或加剧植物细胞死亡。这些数据表明，在植物和动物细胞死亡控制之间可以共享某些机制。提议的会议将解决这些问题。 这次跨学科会议将导致多样化的学科与植物激素生理学和植物基因组学多样化。关于所研究的生物和提出的生物学问题的广泛参与者投资组合可以确保。会议将强调这样的观念，即在易于访问的模型中的研究必须转化为科学家，将基本知识应用于作物植物生物学。因此，会议将促进翻译农业。 为了实现这一目标，组织者将选择具有广泛教育和体验背景的参与者。作为设计会议的这一方面的一部分，他们将特别了解妇女，代表性不足的族裔和代表性不足的高等教育机构的参与日益增加。演讲者包括今天在这个领域工作的几乎所有相关的女性主要调查员。 Keystone专题讨论会在教育程度非常高，以社区为导向，选择标准将包括捕获最广泛的参与者池的理想，同时保持卓越的科学卓越。 Keystone专题讨论会通过直接邮寄给许多高等教育机构的直接邮件来宣传，组织者已经收到了潜在的参与者的询问，从非常“脱节”的大学和大学。 最后，也许最关键的是，组织者包括尽可能多的早期职业科学家。实际上，该NSF奖将专门用于支付博士生和未固定的首席研究人员的费用。组织者将优先考虑从非标准研究I大学资助尽可能多的参与者，并将使用上面建立的指南来指导我们的选择。
