The 2nd European-wide seminar of the new series supported by the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO) and aimed at the Plant Science community and its stakeholders.

TTT: The seminar will be held online each third Thursday of the month at three (CET).

In the coming months we will be on the lookout for talented plant scientists among the EPSO membership to present their findings and perspectives to the EPSO seminar series. If we approach you to talk, we hope you will be happy to support the initiative. This is a fantastic opportunity for both eminent world leaders and talented up-and-coming early career researchers to present their research to an international audience and to network with potential collaborators. If you wish to suggest a theme for one of the autumn seminars and / or nominate yourself or one of your colleagues to give a seminar, we most welcome your suggestions. Please contact Tim George ([email protected]) to provide your name and potential talk title.

 On April 15th 2021 at 15:00 (CET) we will present talks exploring The Wonderful World of Plant Microbe Interactions:

 Prof Corné M.J. Pieterse, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands

“The plant microbiome and plant health”

Prof Paola Bonfante, University of Turin, Italy

“Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: living in between plants and endobacteria”

 Prof Gabriel Castrillo, University of Nottingham, UK

“Coordination between the microbiota and the root endodermis is required for plant mineral nutrient homeostasis”

 The seminars will be hosted on Zoom and last approximately 1.5 hours. Numbers will be limited to 300 attendees and therefore please register early if you would like to join. There will be ample opportunities to ask questions and join the debate. So please join us to support this new and exciting initiative for European Plant Science by following this link just prior to the start of the seminar.
