This award will support the participation of U.S. scientists in a               seminar on the "Molecular and Physiological Responses to                        Environmental Plant Stresses," organized by Professors Bob Buchanan             of the University of California, Berkeley and F. Stuart Chapin III              of the University of Alaska, together with Professor Takeshi                    Akazawa of Nagoya University, Japan.  United States and Japanese                participants will meet at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks                 during June 1988.  The seminar will focus on the molecular and                  physiological responses of plants to water, salt, temperature,                  light and nutrient stresses.                                                                                                                                    Environmental plant stresses are problems of interest                           scientifically and of concern practically due to their cause of                 major crop loss worldwide.  With the expansion of agriculture to                meet global food needs, the impact of unfavorable environments on               plant growth and development, and thus on crop yield, becomes                   increasingly important.  The application of modern molecular                    techniques and state of the art instrumentation has already                     provided new insights into mechanisms of stress effects on plants.              Both Japanese and American scientists are doing research at the                 cutting edge of this field.  This seminar will provide a forum for              the exchange of recent research results and ideas, and encourage                collaborative research between scientists from our two countries.
