In this brief report, we provide a perspective on an international conference “Photosynthesis Research for Sustainability-2011”, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, during July 24–30, 2011 (). At this conference, awards were given to nine young investigators; they are recognized in this Report. We have also included here some photographs to show the pleasant ambiance at this conference. (See and for more photographs taken by the authors as well as by others.) We invite the readers to the next conference on “Photosynthesis Research for Sustainability-2013” to be held in May or June 2013, in Baku, Azerbaijan. Information will be posted at: .  相似文献

Owing to the intense effort of numerous investigators, the number of tumour antigens potentially of use for clinical immunotherapy continues to increase. At the same time, further strategies employed by tumour cells to avoid destruction by the immune system are being uncovered. A combined onslaught to target tumour cells and prevent their “escape” will be required for successful immunotherapy. Progress in this area was the subject of a meeting supported by the European Cancer Research Consortium “EUCAPS”, which was held in London in February 2000. This conference was the second of a series, the first of which was summarised previously in this journal [Pawelec G et al. (1999) Cancer Immunol Immunother 48: 214].

The 3rd International Joint Experiment has been carried out on ISTTOK following the last RUSFD (technical meeting on Research Using Small Fusion Devices) conference, held at Lisbon, in the scope of the IAEA Coordinated Research Project. This program has allowed a great knowledge interchange among the “small” fusion devices community and, in particular, in the development of common work-programs. This communication gives an overview of the impact of such activities. The JE have proved to be a very useful applied forum to share knowledge and to initiate young scientists in some fields of tokamak operation and diagnostics. Many of the ISTTOK 2008 relevant results were obtained under this scope.  相似文献

Cancer Immunotherapy 2005 was the third international meeting organized by the Association for Immunotherapy of Cancer (AIC). About 200 participants were attracted by the excellent scientific program that consisted of overview lectures from 25 international speakers in the plenary auditorium and four guided poster sessions during both days of the meeting. The first day of the symposium mainly focused on experience with, and new perspectives in, antibody therapy. On the second day of the meeting, organized as a joint conference together with the Combined Research Grant “Mechanisms of Tumor Defense and Therapeutic Intervention” funded by the German Research Council, the participants had the chance to gain deeper insights into the principles of antigen processing and the regulation of immune responses. Further topics that were discussed mainly in the poster sessions and in the special lecture given by M. Nishimura (Chicago, USA), were “cellular therapies” and “vaccination against cancer”. The lectures selected for this report aim to provide an overview of the complete scientific program and give an impression of the lively atmosphere that could be felt from the first until the last session of CIMT 2005. C.M. Britten and C. Gouttefangeas contributed equally to this report.  相似文献

Genetic control of aluminium tolerance in rye (Secale cereale L.)   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
 Aluminium (Al) tolerance in roots of two cultivars (“Ailés” and “JNK”) and two inbred lines (“Riodeva” and “Pool”) of rye was studied using intact roots immersed in a nutrient solution at a controlled pH and temperature. Both the cultivars and the inbred lines analysed showed high Al tolerance, this character being under multigenic control. The inbred line “Riodeva” was sensitive (non-telerant) at a concentration of 150 μM, whereas the “Ailes” cultivar showed the highest level of Al tolerance at this concentration. The segregation of aluminium-tolerance genes and several isozyme loci in different F1s, F2s and backcrosses between plants of “Ailés” and “Riodeva” were also studied. The segregation ratios obtained for aluminium tolerance in the F2s analysed were 3 : 1 and 15 : 1 (tolerant : non-tolerant) while in backcrosses they were 1 : 1 and 3 : 1. These results indicated that Al tolerance is controlled by, at least, two major dominant and independent loci in rye (Alt1 and Alt3). Linkage analyses carried out between Al-tolerance genes and several isozyme loci revealed that the Alt1 locus was linked to the aconitase-1 (Aco1), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase-2 (Ndh2), esterase-6 (Est6) and esterase-8 (Est8) loci, located on chromosome arm 6RL. The order obtained was Alt1-Aco1-Ndh2-Est6-Est8. The Alt3 locus was not linked to the Lap1, Aco1 and Ndh2 loci, located on chromosome arms, 6RS, 6RL and 6RL respectively. Therefore, the Alt3 locus is probably on a different chromosome. Received: 18 March 1997 / Accepted: 21 March 1997  相似文献

Two new phototrophic consortia, “Chlorochromatium lunatum” and “Pelochromatium selenoides”, were observed and collected in the hypolimnion of several dimictic lakes in Wisconsin and Michigan (USA). The two consortia had the same morphology but different pigment composition. The cells of the photosynthetic components of the consortia were half-moon-shaped. This morphology was used to differentiate them from the previously described motile phototrophic consortia “Chlorochromatium aggregatum” and “Pelochromatium roseum”. These phototrophic cells did not resemble any described unicellular green sulfur bacteria. The predominant pigments detected were bacteriochlorophyll d and chlorobactene for the green-colored “Clc. lunatum”, and bacteriochlorophyll e and isorenieratene for the brown-colored “Plc. selenoides”. Their pigment compositions and the presence of chlorosomes attached to the inner face of the cytoplasmic membrane in both kinds of photosynthetic cells confirmed this new half-moon-shaped morphotype as a green sulfur bacterium. Both consortia were found thriving in lakes with low concentrations of sulfide (< 60 μM), below the layers of “Clc. aggregatum” and “Plc. roseum”. The green consortia were observed in lakes where the oxic-anoxic interface was located at shallow depths (2–7 m), while the brown consortia were found at greater depths (8–16 m). The two newly described consortia were never detected together at the same depth in any lake. Received: 30 April 1997 / Accepted: 17 January 1998  相似文献

Shoots of orange jessamine (Murraya paniculata) a member of the Rutaceae family flowered in vitro on half-strength MT basal medium containing 5% sucrose. The highest percentage (95%) of flowering was obtained on medium supplemented with 0.1 mg l–1 N6-benzyladenine and pH 5.7. A “floral gradient” was detected among the stem internodes and root segments derived from seedlings, with shoot and flower formation significantly influenced by position on the shoot internodes and root segments. Flower buds originating from shoots derived from seeds but not other tissues developed into normal flowers and produced zygotic embryos.

Effects of herbivory and competition on an introduced plant in decline   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Marianne Erneberg 《Oecologia》1999,118(2):203-209
Anthemiscotula was introduced to Denmark 500 years ago, and its distribution is presently limited and in decline. A manipulative field experiment was performed to investigate the effects of native plant competitors and native invertebrate herbivores on its performance. Generally, both herbivory and competition treatments had great impact, and when both factors were operating, the effects were additive for all variables except plant height. Although A. cotula showed plasticity in growth, resource allocation and flowering timing, it was unable to adjust to competition and compensate for losses due to herbivory sufficiently to ensure and restore its achene production. This vulnerability, combined with improved cereal cleaning techniques and thus fewer reintroductions of A. cotula seeds, may be the cause of its current decline. A. cotula responded to herbivory by prolonging its flowering period, a “bet-hedging” strategy. In Denmark this strategy is unreliable since risks of sub-optimal conditions are much greater in August–October. Received: 12 December 1997 / Accepted: 14 October 1998  相似文献

Aluminium concentration was analyzed in roots, stems and leaves of species growing in morichals with extreme flooded acid soils, deficient in K, Ca, Mg and P. Mean aluminium saturation was 73%. Results seem to indicate that species depending on seasonal changes in the Al concentration of plant compartments, could be grouped into “perennial aluminium accumulators”, “late aluminium accumulators” and “threshold aluminium accumulators”.  相似文献
