National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

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

DE2005831078

Publication Date	2003
Page Count	12
Abstract	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.
