Notice for Exhibition The International Workshop on Plant Molecular Biology Brief Introduction: Development of the plant genetics and functional genomics, as well as the establishment of proteomics and metabolomics technology platforms provided a solid basis for systemic research on plant gene regulatory network, protein-protein interactions and the regulatory mechanisms of important physiological processes. Recently, Chinese scientists made tremendous achievements in various fields including rice genome sequencing, comparative genomics, plant development, secondary metabolism, etc. To improve the international communication in this field and to facilitate plant molecular biological research works, we will organize the “International Workshop on Plant Molecular Biology” in Shanghai, China, during Oct. 26th to 29th, 2005. The workshop will invite celebrities in this field; particularly those who have made great contributions in plant functional genomics and proteomics, to give speech or disquisitions. Their presentations will share information with us on plant signal transduction, disease resistance, stress resistance, development and metabolism regulation from different views including functional genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics.
