This award will support travel awards for trainees to the 7th Pan-American Plant Membrane Biology Workshop, to be held June 18th-21st, 2023 at the Hotel Reef in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.This meeting will be attended by undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as by senior researchers to discuss current understanding of all aspects of the structure, function, and dynamics of the complicated membranes of plant cells and organelles, including the surfaces at which photosynthesis takes place. Talks will be presented on topics such as how metals and sugars and chemical signals cross membranes, how membrane structures move from one part of the cell to another, the structure and function of membranes in photosynthesis, and how plant membranes respond to stress such as heat and drought. In addition to formal talks, engagement will be facilitated by two extended poster sessions to stimulate interactions between researchers. NSF support will be used to defray travel and registration costs in order to allow attendance of participants from early stages of their careers, especially for members of groups underrepresented in this field.Membranes in plant cells are central to understanding photosynthesis, water transport, and stress responses. Recent advances in the field, including new technological capabilities, will be highlighted at the 7th Pan-American Plant Membrane Biology Workshop. The meeting will bring together seasoned investigators with students and early-career scientists in both formal talks and discussion sessions to encourage informal discussion and sharing of latest research results, including sessions on membrane organization, transport across membranes, the role of membranes in biotic and abiotic stress responses, membrane trafficking throughout the cell vacuole, and new techniques for studying plant membranes including cryoEM/nanodiscs, optogenetics, bioinformatics, and lipid analysis techniques.This award is funded by the Cellular Dynamics and Function Cluster of the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences in the Directorate for Biological Sciences.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.

该奖项将为参加第七届泛美植物膜生物学研讨会的学员提供差旅奖励，该研讨会将于 2023 年 6 月 18 日至 21 日在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛梅里达的礁石酒店举行。博士后研究员以及高级研究人员讨论当前对植物细胞和细胞器复杂膜的结构、功能和动力学各个方面的理解，包括光合作用的表面发生。 演讲主题包括金属、糖和化学信号如何跨膜、膜结构如何从细胞的一个部分移动到另一部分、光合作用中膜的结构和功能，以及植物膜如何响应热等应激和干旱。 除了正式会谈之外，还将通过两次延长的海报会议来促进参与，以刺激研究人员之间的互动。 NSF 的支持将用于支付差旅费和注册费用，以便参与者能够在其职业生涯的早期阶段参加会议，特别是对于该领域代表性不足的群体的成员。植物细胞中的膜对于理解光合作用、水分运输和压力至关重要回应。 第七届泛美植物膜生物学研讨会将重点介绍该领域的最新进展，包括新技术能力。 会议将汇集经验丰富的研究人员与学生和早期职业科学家进行正式会谈和讨论，以鼓励非正式讨论和分享最新研究成果，包括关于膜组织、跨膜运输、膜在生物和非生物中的作用的会议应激反应、整个细胞液泡的膜运输以及研究植物膜的新技术，包括冷冻电镜/纳米盘、光遗传学、生物信息学和脂质分析技术。该奖项由细胞动力学和功能集群资助该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
