Earth's climate is changing, and with it the growth conditions of the crops and animals we depend upon change too. These changes affect many aspects of our lives and threaten our food supply, necessitating both understanding and action. Changes in weather conditions such as heat or cold waves, drought, or flooding can directly impact the growth of crops, as well as alter the balance between crop plants and the pathogens they encounter, potentially resulting in large-scale outbreaks of diseases. In addition, some of these changes can occur simultaneously, for example during a combination of a prolonged drought period and a heat wave, resulting in devastating impacts on our agriculture and economy. How to prepare for such changes and how to attempt to mitigate their impact directly depends on the understanding of basic mechanisms underlying the interaction of plants with different biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as their combination. To address these challenges, as well as to enhance the understanding of basic signaling mechanisms underlying the interaction of plants with different biotic and abiotic stresses, a new addition is organized to the Annual Interdisciplinary Plant Group (IPG) Symposium entitled: "Plant Signaling in Biotic and Abiotic Stress".The conference entitled: "Plant Signaling in Biotic and Abiotic Stress" will provide a forum in which faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows, from diverse backgrounds, can interact with prominent scholars in the plant biology community who are all studying signal transduction mechanisms that control plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as their integration. The intent is to provide a platform that promotes cross-disciplinary interactions, networking, and an exchange of ideas. The expected outcomes of the meeting are: (a) enhanced understanding of how different stresses integrate at the molecular level; (b) enhanced understanding of how this information is communicated from one or more local cells to the entire plant (systemic signaling); and (c) uncovering of key signaling hubs that could be manipulated for enhancing the tolerance of plants to their environment. The planned symposium includes a concerted effort to broaden the participation of undergraduate students, and includes women, minority and young scientists in a significant role as speakers. This award was co-funded by the Physiological Mechanisms and Biomechanics Program and the Integrative Ecological Physiology Program in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems.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.

地球的气候正在发生变化，随之而来的是农作物和动物的生长条件，我们也依赖于变化。这些变化影响了我们生活的许多方面，并威胁了我们的粮食供应，因此需要理解和行动。天气条件的变化，例如热或冷浪，干旱或洪水会直接影响农作物的生长，并改变作物植物与遇到的病原体之间的平衡，可能导致大规模疾病爆发。此外，其中一些变化可以同时发生，例如在长期干旱时期和热浪的结合期间，从而对我们的农业和经济产生了毁灭性的影响。如何为这种变化做准备以及如何尝试减轻其影响直接取决于对具有不同生物和非生物胁迫及其组合的植物相互作用的基本机制的理解。为了应对这些挑战，并增强对植物与不同生物和非生物压力相互作用的基本信号传导机制的理解，对年度跨学科植物组（IPG）座谈会的新添加是有利的：“植物信号：“生物压力中的植物信号和非生物压力中的植物压力中的植物和植物的信号”。来自不同背景的博士后研究员可以与植物生物学界的知名学者相互作用，他们都在研究控制植物对生物和非生物胁迫及其整合的植物反应的信号转导机制。目的是提供一个促进跨学科互动，网络和思想交流的平台。会议的预期结果是：（a）增强对分子水平不同应力如何整合的理解； （b）增强对如何从一个或多个局部细胞传达该信息到整个植物的了解（全身信号传导）； （c）发现可以操纵的关键信号枢纽，以增强植物对环境的耐受性。计划的研讨会包括一致努力，以扩大本科生的参与，并包括妇女，少数民族和年轻科学家，扮演着演讲者的重要角色。该奖项是由生理机制和生物力学计划以及综合有机系统部门的综合生态生理计划共同资助的。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
