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.
