The requested funds will provide partial support for a Gordon Research Conference on SALT & WATER STRESS IN PLANTS that will be held on September 7-12, 2008 in Big Sky, MT to advance, integrate and disseminate cutting edge research results on plant responses to salinity and water-deficit stress. The conference will highlight novel approaches to study and understand the genetic and biochemical mechanisms and morphological and physiological processes used by various model and crop plant species to sense and trigger adaptive responses to high salinity and water-deficits. The award will cover, in part, the costs for registration and travel to promote and enable the attendance of 15-30 U.S. scientists at early stages in their scientific careers. Research results will be presented via oral and poster presentations and discussions will be on topic areas that include the identification and characterization of genes, proteins, processes, and/or networks and systems that contribute to environmental stress tolerance. Specific discussion session topics to be covered will include natural variation and evolutionary context, stress perception and signal transduction, transcriptional responses and networks, protein expression, modification and interaction, metabolic responses, ion and water homeostasis, oxidative stress, co-ordination of the whole plant response, and crop improvement for a changing global environment. The Conference is unique in that it will foster synergistic interactions and long-term collaborations among researchers from all over the world who conduct abiotic stress research at diverse scales of organization using molecular, biochemical, physiological, cellular, and whole plant approaches. The broader impacts of the Conference include the promotion of the participation of young, talented early career stage scientists, particularly from underrepresented groups. Increasing temperatures and greater variation in climate and precipitation patterns due to global warming are expected to negatively impact agricultural productivity. Society will benefit from basic and applied research exchange and discussion of strategies to design more robust crops of economic importance for the food, fuel, and fiber security of the U.S.

所申请的资金将为将于 2008 年 9 月 7 日至 12 日在蒙大拿州大天空举行的关于植物盐分和水分胁迫的戈登研究会议提供部分支持，以推进、整合和传播植物对盐分反应的前沿研究成果和缺水压力。会议将重点介绍研究和理解各种模型和农作物物种用于感知和触发对高盐度和缺水的适应性反应的遗传和生化机制以及形态和生理过程的新方法。该奖项将部分支付注册和旅行费用，以促进和支持 15-30 名处于科学职业早期阶段的美国科学家参加会议。研究结果将通过口头和海报展示的形式呈现，讨论的主题领域包括有助于环境压力耐受性的基因、蛋白质、过程和/或网络和系统的识别和表征。具体讨论主题将包括自然变异和进化背景、压力感知和信号转导、转录反应和网络、蛋白质表达、修饰和相互作用、代谢反应、离子和水稳态、氧化应激、整体协调植物响应和作物改良以应对不断变化的全球环境。此次会议的独特之处在于，它将促进来自世界各地的研究人员之间的协同互动和长期合作，这些研究人员使用分子、生化、生理、细胞和全植物方法在不同的组织规模上进行非生物胁迫研究。会议的更广泛影响包括促进年轻、有才华的早期职业阶段科学家，特别是来自代表性不足群体的科学家的参与。全球变暖导致气温升高以及气候和降水模式的更大变化预计将对农业生产力产生负面影响。社会将受益于基础和应用研究交流以及战略讨论，以设计对美国粮食、燃料和纤维安全具有经济重要性的更强大的作物。
