The Southern Section of the American Society of Plant Biologists is holding the
Kriton Hatzios Symposium during the section’s 83rd annual meeting. This year’s theme is “Plant Microbiome: Ecology, Functions, and Application Trends” and we welcome submissions arising from oral and/or poster presentations from the symposium. External submissions are also welcome in order to offer a more comprehensive view of the topic.
The biodiversity of microorganisms in different plant niches is astounding, especially since they affect plants in different ways. A deeper understanding of the role of microbes and how they influence the health of plants would allow us to innovate and come up with solutions to addressing challenges in agriculture and food production. In addition, this would also bring forth novel ideas for maintaining the health of ecosystems.
We accept submissions of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Opinion manuscripts related to the following themes:
-mechanisms of plant-microbe interaction
-symbiotic relations of plant and beneficial microbes
-studies on plant pathogenic microbes and their host
-technology development for plant health, including bio-based products
Please note that descriptive studies and those defining gene families or descriptive collection of transcripts, proteins, or metabolites, will not be considered for review unless they are expanded and provide mechanistic and/or physiological insights into the biological system or process being studied.
