Welcome to the new working group Plant-Microbe Interactions
The new working group combines the two previous working groups “Mycology” and “Host-Parasite-Interactions” 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 1st Annual Meeting of the Working Group Plant-Microbe Interactions will take place on March 13 and 14, 2025 at the Department of Biology of the University of Kaiserslautern (RPTU)
- Presentation of current research work and research results in lectures and poster presentations
- Discussion of
- current mycological problems in plant cultivation practice
- Physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology of interactions between phytopathogenic organisms and their host plants
- mutualistic interactions with plant-associated microorganisms (e.g. mycorrhizal fungi, endophytes and microbiomes)
- Identification of molecular targets to combat phytopathogenic organisms
- Formulation of solutions for the prevention and control of mycological problems
