Mycorrhizal fungi associate with ~80% of land plants and contribute to both ecosystem stability and crop productivity through soil stabilization, biofertilization, and bioprotection. Despite these benefits, implementation of the AM symbiosis into sustainable agricultural practices to increase crop productivity at a low environmental cost is far from routine. This is mainly due to the lack of understanding of the molecular processes underlying the AM symbiosis establishment. The aim of iMMM 2015 is to:

  • Share the most advanced trends of mycorrhizal symbiosis research
  • Interact with scientists to develop collaboration
  • Inspire young scientists about translational science from basic research to practical application for the society
