The Frontiers of Plant Biology: Protein Modifications in Plant Signalling and Development,2008

Treasure Harbor International Hotel, Lijiang, Yunnan, China
November 2-5, 2008

 

Welcome to FPB2008

 
Protein modifications and regulated protein degradation are common cellular activities. Their important roles exemplified in cell cycle progression, transcriptional regulation, DNA repair and protein quality control. It is therefore not surprising that aberrations in these processes have been implicated in change of plant development, signaling, plant environment interaction and host pathogen interaction. As the sixth International Conference on the Frontiers of Plant Biology, the meeting will focus on protein modifications in plant development and plant signaling. The main topics of the meeting will include ubiquitination/sumolation, protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, histone modification/chromatin remodeling and innovative methodology in protein investigation. This meeting intends to serve as an important platform for discussion and idea exchanges among China's current and future investigators and for their interaction with some invited leading experts in the representative areas. The meeting will be held in the most exclusive Lijiang, southwest of China, the unique ancient town with breathtaking and peaceful scenery.
