This award will provide partial support for the 23rd Penn State Plant Biology Symposium: RNA Biology, to be held May 18-20, 2022 on the Penn State Campus in College Park. The conference will feature established and emerging leaders in all aspects of plant RNA biology. This is the continuation of two long-running conference series, and is expected to draw an international group of attendees. The conference will include two keynote addresses, 19 invited lectures, and 15 contributed presentations, as well as two poster sessions. Travel awards and outreach will ensure a diverse group of participants. Students will have prominent roles at the conference, helping to organize and run the sessions, as well as presenting their own research. A publication describing findings from the symposium will be led by graduate student attendees, providing valuable professional experience and tangible outcomes for their career advancement. RNA biology is a fast-moving field that is impacting all areas of the life sciences. Plants are at the forefront of RNA biology, both as tractable model systems and in the context of enhancing agricultural productivity. Pivotal discoveries in RNA structure, gene regulation, and epigenetics are coming from plant systems. The conference will cover exciting advances in the areas of small regulatory RNAs, RNA structure, RNA processing, RNA localization, translational control of gene expression, and epigenetics and chromatin modifications. This symposium will gather leading investigators, early stage scientists, trainees, and students in an intimate setting. This will allow for information sharing on the cutting edge of this field. The comprehensive plan for recruiting participants will ensure that the gathering will catalyze collaborations that may not otherwise happen.This project is jointly funded by the Genetic Mechanisms program in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences and the Plant Genome Research Program in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems of the Biological Sciences Directorate.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.

该奖项将为第23宾夕法尼亚州立大学植物生物学研讨会提供部分支持：RNA生物学，将于2022年5月18日至202日在大学公园的宾夕法尼亚州立校园举行。该会议将以植物RNA生物学各个方面的成熟和新兴领导者为特色。这是两个长期的会议系列赛的延续，有望吸引一群国际参与者。会议将包括两个主题演讲，19个受邀的讲座和15个贡献演讲，以及两个海报会议。旅行奖和外展将确保各种各样的参与者。学生将在会议上扮演重要角色，帮助组织和举办会议，并展示自己的研究。一份描述研讨会发现的出版物将由研究生与会者领导，为他们的职业发展提供宝贵的专业经验和切实的成果。 RNA生物学是一个快速发展的领域，正在影响生命科学的所有领域。植物是RNA生物学的最前沿，既是可拖动的模型系统，也是提高农业生产力的背景。 RNA结构，基因调节和表观遗传学中的关键发现来自植物系统。该会议将涵盖小规范RNA，RNA结构，RNA处理，RNA定位，基因表达的翻译控制以及表观遗传学和染色质修饰领域的令人兴奋的进步。该研讨会将在亲密的环境中聚集领先的调查员，早期的科学家，学员和学生。这将允许在该领域的最前沿进行信息共享。招募参与者的全面计划将确保聚会将催化可能不会发生的合作。该项目由分子和细胞生物科学的遗传机制计划共同资助，并在分子和细胞生物科学的划分中以及植物基因组研究计划以及在生物学奖的综合生物学系统中，通过评估nsf的统计范围，并以表现为NSF的规定，并以表现为NSF的规定。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
