Workshop: Plant Signal transduction pathways in Nitrogen-fixing symbioses
Where: "Centro Congressi" University Federico II, Room A, Via Partenope 36 (few steps from the Royal Continental Hotel, ENFC2023 venue)
When: 31st August 2023
Registration fee: Euro 40 (covering coffee break and lunch)
It is possible to sign in to the meeting just after the main confernce ENFC2023 online registration https://www.enfc2023.org/index.php/registration-info. Registration will be activated soon.
Description:
The workshop will cover aspects of signal transduction in the host during the establishment of nodulation symbiosis.
We aim for a relaxed, discussion-focused atmosphere. Student and postdoctoral projects will be prioritised. If you would like to attend the workshop, please register via the conference website. Abstracts for presentations will be selected from conference submissions of individuals who co-registered for the workshop (topics: Symbiotic signaling, Regulatory processes, Nodule development, Nodule function). There will be no poster session.
