About the Plant-Microbe Interactions Session
Plant–Microbe Interactions examines the relationships between plants and microorganisms within roots, soils, tissues, and surrounding environments. The session covers plant microbiomes, rhizosphere biology, beneficial bacteria, fungi, mycorrhizae, nitrogen fixation, biofertilizers, bio-inoculants, and microbe-assisted plant growth.
Abstract Scope and Participation
The session welcomes research on beneficial, neutral, and complex plant–microbial associations across laboratory, greenhouse, and field settings. Plant microbiologists, soil scientists, mycologists, molecular biologists, agronomists, biotechnology professionals, and students are encouraged to participate.
Topics Covered in Plant-Microbe Interactions
Plant microbiomes and rhizosphere biology
Beneficial plant–microbe interactions
Mycorrhizal and fungal associations
Nitrogen fixation and beneficial bacteria
Biofertilizers and bio-inoculants
Microbe-assisted plant growth and stress tolerance
