Fourth edition of Plant Productivity and Food Safety Conference

Fourth edition of Plant Productivity and Food Safety: Microbiology, Soil Science, Food Quality and Agricultural Genetics conference

It is with great pleasure that we announce another co-organized COST Action SUSTAIN event
Description
The conference will feature four thematic Sessions I-IV, focusing on key issues in the field of natural sciences:

1. Plant-Microorganisms Interactions in Agriculture and Ecosystem Management – This session will delve into the mechanisms of microorganism-plant interactions, analysing both the benefits these interactions bring and the potential risks. We will discuss the latest discoveries in symbiosis, pathogenesis, and biocontrol.
2. Plant Metabolism and Signalling – We will focus on metabolic processes in plants and the signalling systems that regulate their growth, development, and stress responses. Additionally, we will cover the topic of plant hormones and their role in adapting to changing environmental conditions.
3. Soil Threats and Security – This session will address key threats to soil health, such as chemical contamination, erosion, and structural degradation. We will also present innovative methods for soil protection and remediation, which can ensure their long-term security and fertility.
4. The Global Problem of Salinity – An Interdisciplinary Approach – We will analyse the causes and effects of soil salinity, a significant challenge for agriculture worldwide. Strategies for managing salinity and technologies that can help mitigate its negative impacts on crops will be presented.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
