TATA, HUNGARY, 23-26 AU=
GUST 1998
Organizing Committee: M. Bar=DBn (Granada, Spain), H. R. Bolh=B7r-Nor=
denkampf
(Vienna, Austria), M. Droppa (Budapest, Hungary), G. Horv=
=B7th
(Budapest, Hungary). Treasurer: Z. Szigeti (Budapest, Hu=
ngary).
Scope of the meeting: The workshop will assemble scientists intereste=
d in
stress induced alterations of metabolic processes related dir=
ectly
or indirectly to photosynthesis in plants and autotrophic
microorganisms. It will provide an excellent opportunity to exchange =
ideas
and to discuss results in more details concerning responses o=
f
photosynthesis and plant productivity to various stress factors.
Besides of single stress effects, the action of combined stress is pl=
anned
to be a main issue.
Main topics of the meeting
- Alteration of physiological processes related to photosynth=
esis by
various stress factors (e.g. heavy metal, ozone, extreme
temperature, pathogen infection, drought, light etc.)
- Stress synergisms affecting photosynthesis and plant produc=
tivity
- responses at molecular and cellular levels
- responses at organ and whole plant levels
- responses at ecosystem level
- modeling of stress responses
- technics to detect stress in plants
Practical informations:
Location: Tata is situated in the midwest of Hungary about 60 kms fro=
m
Budapest. The meeting will be hosted in the well equipped com=
plex of
the Training Camp of the Hungarian National Sport Teams with
numerous sporting and recreation facilities.
Dates: Arrival at Tata at lunch time on the 23rd of August, departure=
from
Tata in morning hours on the 26th of August.
Fees: Participant US$ 180, accompanying members US$ 120 (including

reception, farewell diner, excursion of accompanied persons and
swimming facilities).
Accommodation will be arranged within the Training Camp based on doub=
le
occupancy.
Application: The overall number of participants is limited to 80.
Selection is made based on scientific activity of candidates =
on
topics of the workshop.
Deadline of applications: 15th May, 1998
