Gordon Research Conference on 2003 Plant Cell Walls Gordon Conference. Held in Meriden, New Hampshire on August 10-15, 2003. Final Progress Report.

[摘要] This conference will address recent progress in many aspects of cell wall biology. Molecular, genetic, and genomic approaches are yielding major advances in our understanding of the composition, synthesis, and architecture of plant cell walls and their dynamics during growth, and are identifying the genes that encode the machinery needed to make their biogenesis possible. This meeting will bring together international scientists from academia, industry and government labs to share the latest breakthroughs and perspectives on polysaccharide biosynthesis, wood formation, wall modification, expansion and interaction with other organisms, and genomic and evolutionary analyses of wall-related genes, as well as to discuss recent 'nanotechnological' advances that take wall analysis to the level of a single cell.
