5th Meeting on Molecular Mechanisms in Nitrogen-Fixing Root Endosymbioses - Toulouse, 12-13 October 2017

The 5th meeting on Molecular Mechanisms in Nitrogen-Fixing Root Endosymbioses will be held in Toulouse, 12-13 October 2017 at L'amphi Toulouse Garonne.
Objectives of the Network

> To promote communication and the exchange of ideas and materials between and within the community of biologists specializing in symbiotic nitrogen fixation and the community specializing in cereals (plant biologists and microbiologists).
> To promote the emergence of tools, approaches and experimental models, in particular for developing strategies for the bioengineering of «nitrogen-fixing cereals».
> To prepare to respond to calls for proposals (ANR, Europe, International) and to promote the setting up of joint propositions.
> To increase the visibility and the dynamism of French research on nitrogen-fixing symbioses and the potential transfer to cereals.
> To increase the attractivity of the subject to French and foreign students and young researchers.
