INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS-AMITY
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON BACTERIA & FUNGI FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
September 15 – 17, 2010
Overview: Human impact leading to ecosystem destruction necessitates the development of restoration strategies. Looking at the great number of various parameters determining a plant community, the inclusion of soil microorganisms in restoration practices is indispensable. Future research on symbiosis is desperately needed for enlightening the AMF biology & PGPRs and elucidating the precise relationship between plant species and their soil environment for successful re-establishment of plant species in a new environment or in a destroyed ecosystem under restoration.
This three day workshop will not only provide the forum to discuss the biology of microorganisms and its role in the ecological sustenance but will also help in determining an effective strategy for restoration of destroyed ecosystem and re-establishment of plant species, thereby minimizing the global warming impact. The workshop will host the leading scientists and their view for the use of microbes in restoration of ecosystem.
The workshop will cover the following major themes
1. Mutualistic networks and Ecosystem functions
2. Impact of Endophytes on Plant Physiology
3. Inter-kingdom Horizontal Transfer
4. Microbial Communication, Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching
5. Interaction of Nanoparticles with Microbes
6. Mutualistic Interactions and Global Change
7. Science and Technology for Tribal Welfare
8. New Methods in Symbiosis Research Read more
