Seminar	PLANT INTERACTIONS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT	Plant Biology
Date	Sep 03-05, 2008
Organisers	Felix Kessler (University of Neuchatel), Ted Turlings (University of Neuchatel), Ian Sanders (University of Lausanne)
Site	University of Neuchatel
Theme	Interdisciplinary research between the fields of ecological and molecular plant physiology is rapidly revealing a spectacular flexibility and sophistication in the adaptations of plants to their biotic and abiotic environments. Top scientists will give overviews of the latest developments in the following fields: 1) Induced resistance to abiotic and biotic stressors, 2) Mutualistic and symbiotic interactions between plants and insects and microorganisms and 3) Interactions between plants and light. Besides presentations there will be round table discussions supported by key publications on specific topics. Students will also be offered opportunities to present and discuss their own work with the experts. By bringing together students from different research groups and disciplines, we want to promote the exchange of information and development of new collaborations.
