Intellectual MeritProtein phosphorylation is an enzyme mediated reaction in which a phosphate is added to a protein to alter its function. Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation play key roles in many aspects of plant biology, including control of cell division, pathways of carbon and nitrogen metabolism, pattern formation, hormonal responses, and abiotic and biotic responses to environmental signals. The 2010 Symposium on Plant Protein Phosphorylation, which will be held from May 26-28, 2010, on the Columbia campus of the University of Missouri, represents the only U.S. meeting to focus on this fundamental biochemical process as a unifying theme. The symposium will provide an interdisciplinary venue in which scholars studying protein modification, as it relates to a broad range of biological questions and using a variety of plant species, can meet and share their research. It also will provide a unique international forum to examine challenges and emerging paradigms in studies of protein phosphorylation. The symposium will be organized to promote interactions across disciplines in hopes of stimulating new research collaborations. Emphasis will also be placed on inclusion of young investigators,as speakers, poster presenters, and attendees. The symposium, which is expected to draw between 200 and 250 worldwide participants, is a unique opportunity to facilitate rapid dissemination of acquired knowledge and technical expertise regarding protein phosphorylation in plants.Broader ImpactsBecause protein phosphorylation is critical to many aspects of plant biology a better understanding of this post-translational control mechanism will contribute the production of crops with higher yields and insights into how plants might cope with a changing environment. The Symposium on Plant Protein Phosphorylation will bring together a diverse group of international scholars studying a fundamental biological process in plants from varying disciplinary angles. In so doing, this symposium will provide a unique platform from which research between disciplines can flow and interact. Organized and hosted by the Interdisciplinary Plant Group at the University of Missouri every three years since 1990, the symposium will include a concerted effort to broaden participation of undergraduate students, particularly those from smaller and minority-serving institutions, as well as female research scientists. The symposium also will enhance networking opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and will create a venue to foster collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects for faculty and students.

智力蛋白磷酸化是一种酶介导的反应，其中将磷酸盐添加到蛋白质中以改变其功能。蛋白质磷酸化和去磷酸化在植物生物学的许多方面都起着关键作用，包括控制细胞分裂，碳和氮代谢的途径，模式形成，激素反应以及对环境信号的非生物和生物反应。 2010年的植物蛋白磷酸化研讨会将于2010年5月26日至28日在密苏里大学的哥伦比亚校园举行，是美国唯一专注于这一基本生化过程的美国会议，这是一个统一的主题。该研讨会将提供一个跨学科的场所，在该场所中，研究蛋白质修饰的学者与广泛的生物学问题有关，并使用各种植物物种可以满足和分享他们的研究。它还将提供一个独特的国际论坛，以研究蛋白质磷酸化研究中的挑战和新兴范例。研讨会将组织起来，以促进跨学科的互动，以期刺激新的研究合作。演讲者，海报演示者和与会者也将重点放在包括年轻调查员的纳入年轻调查员上。预计将在全球范围内吸引200至250名参与者的研讨会，是一个独特的机会，可以促进对植物中蛋白质磷酸化的获取知识和技术专长的快速传播。Boader的影响。由于蛋白质磷酸化对植物生物学的许多方面的贡献对植物的许多方面进行了对植物的贡献，因此蛋白质磷酸化至关重要。 环境。植物蛋白磷酸化的研讨会将汇集一组不同的国际学者，研究来自不同学科角度的植物中的基本生物学过程。这样一来，该研讨会将提供一个独特的平台，学科之间的研究可以通过该平台进行流动和互动。自1990年以来，由密苏里大学的跨学科植物集团组织和主持，研讨会将包括一致的努力，以扩大本科生的参与，尤其是来自较小和少数族裔的机构以及女性研究科学家的参与。该研讨会还将为研究生和博士后研究员增加网络机会，并将创建一个场地，以促进教师和学生的合作和跨学科研究项目。
