Plants interact with a multitude of microorganisms which can promote either beneficial or harmful effects. This meeting is organized within the framework of the Joint Doctoral Programme in Biology of Plants & - BioPlant MAP and covers distinct aspects of plant-microbe interactions, such as nodulation, mycorrhization and plant pathogenesis. Researchers are invited to present their work as short oral communications.
