Scientific meetings enable the exchange of new findings from international experts in specific areas of state-of-the-art research, while also providing a forum to enhance the training and networking of younger scientists who represent the future of research in the discipline. Plant developmental biology is the study of the processes whereby plants form all the specialized cells, tissues, and organs of the adult plant, beginning with the fertilization of the single-celled zygote and encompassing all the subsequent stages of development including embryo formation and germination, vegetative development of leaves, roots and stems, and culminating in the formation of spores, seeds and/or flowers and fruits. This NSF award will be used to organize an international meeting in the area of plant developmental biology, which will feature talks and poster presentations from experts in the field. In addition, the meeting will feature talks selected from young scientists at early-career stages, and from scientists from under-represented groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Furthermore, the meeting will also host interactive sessions where young plant developmental biologists will meet with established experts to discuss strategies toward establishing successful careers in science. This award will enable the organization of the 19th international FASEB Mechanisms in Plant Development, which brings together leading researchers in world of plant developmental biology to exchange unpublished ideas and advance concepts in the field. Likewise, the meeting will promote the participation and recognition of early-career scientists. Activities include invited speaker sessions, early-career speakers selected from abstracts, minority participation, poster sessions, and career development workshops. Plant developmental biology is a core discipline that studies self-organization of the multicellular plant. Discoveries in plant cell-to-cell signaling, transcriptional networks, and physiology are relevant to the wider field of developmental biology. Nonetheless, there are unique aspects of plant development that require a dedicated meeting where scientists can discuss and exchange technical/conceptual innovations and provide a point of inspiration for young plant developmental biologists. This year’s proposed topics span focus areas for NSF IOS and MCB programs. The meeting provides a critical forum for graduate students and postdocs. The small size of this meeting ( 150 participants) facilitates interaction among participants from all career stages at meals, poster sessions, and “meet the experts’ sessions addressing career concerns of young scientists. This year’s meeting will feature 14 short talks selected presented by earlier-stage researchers. Participation by minority and female scientists is strongly encouraged; more than half of the invited speakers at the conference are women. Furthermore, participation of other underrepresented groups will be an emphasis of short-talk selections. The outcomes of the conference will be disseminated through student-generated journal publication.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.

科学会议使国际专家在最先进的研究的特定领域进行了新发现，同时还提供了一个论坛，以增强代表该学科研究未来的年轻科学家的培训和网络。植物发育生物学是对植物形成成年植物的所有专业细胞，组织和器官的研究，从单细胞合子的受精开始，并涵盖了所有随后的发育序列阶段，包括胚胎形成和发芽，包括叶片，叶子和茎的营养，茎和花序和散布的形式和散布的形式，或散布的形式，或者是散热的，或者。该NSF奖将用于组织植物发育生物学领域的国际会议，该会议将由该领域的专家提供演讲和海报演讲。此外，会议还将在早期职业阶段从年轻科学家选出的演讲，以及来自代表性不足的科学，技术，工程和数学的科学家。此外，会议还将举办互动会议，年轻的植物发展生物学家将与既定专家会面，讨论建立科学领域成功职业的策略。该奖项将使第19届国际FASEB机制在植物开发中的组织组织，该机制将植物发育生物学世界中的主要研究人员汇集在一起​​，以交换未发表的思想并提高了该领域的概念。同样，会议将促进早期职业科学家的参与和认可。活动包括受邀演讲者会议，从摘要，少数群体参与，海报会议和职业发展讲习班中选出的早期职业演讲者。植物发育生物学是研究多细胞植物自组织的核心学科。植物细胞到细胞信号，转录网络和生理学中的发现与更广泛的发育生物学领域有关。尽管如此，植物开发的独特方面需要专门的会议，科学家可以在其中讨论和交换技术/概念创新，并为年轻的植物发育生物学家提供灵感。今年提议的主题涵盖了NSF IOS和MCB计划的重点领域。会议为研究生和博士后提供了一个关键的论坛。这次会议（150名参与者）的较小规模促进了各个职业阶段，海报会议的参与者之间的互动，并“与专家的会议召开，以解决年轻科学家的职业问题。今年的会议将以14个简短的谈话为特色，由较早的研究人员和女性科学家参与。代表性不足的群体将重点介绍会议的结果。
