2015 APS Annual Meeting


During the 2015 APS Annual Meeting in Pasadena, CA, August 2015, the APS Public Policy Board (PPB) organized "Phytobiome-Plant Interactions: Bridging Phytobiome Structure and Function" session with a focus on recent advances in our understanding of the complex connections between plants and their microbiomes, and especially on the functional impacts of the microbiome on plant health in both non-model and model plant systems.

PART 2: Phytobiome-Plant Interactions: Bridging Phytobiome Structure and Function




2014 APS Annual Meeting


During the APS-CPS Joint Meeting in Minneapolis, August 2014, the APS Public Policy Board (PPB) organized an "Understanding Phytobiomes to Improve Agricultural Productivity" special sess​ion. his unique session featured five experts who illustrated why funding investments in phytobiome approaches are critical by highlighting what we have not been able to learn with individual organisms and revealing what can be learned when microbiomes are studied as a system.
