Welcome to the working group Plant-Microbe Interactions
The working group combines the two working groups “Mycology” and “Host-Parasite Relationships” and expands the subject area to include mutualistic interactions with plant-associated microorganisms (e.g. mycorrhizal fungi, endophytes and microbiomes), which play an important role in plant health.
The 2nd Annual Meeting of the Working Group Plant-Microbe Interactions will take place on March 12-13, 2026 in Giessen.
