Plant roots house one of the most diverse, yet vastly neglected, microbial communities on earth. The aim of the Gravitation programme, MiCRop, is to harness the genomic potential of root microbes as a new platform for improved stress resilience of future crops and sustainable food production. MiCRop encompasses a multi-disciplinary consortium of Dutch scientists focussed on expanding the frontiers of plant-microbiome research by integrating diverse expertises; data analysis, bioinformatics, modelling, plant-microbe interactions, plant-insect interactions, plant stress physiology and metabolism, evolutionary ecology, entomology, phytopathology and microbiology. Six excellent research groups from Amsterdam (UvA, VU), Utrecht (UU) and Wageningen (WUR, NIOO-KNAW1) lead a diverse team of collaborators – including 4 strong data analysis groups - in a focussed collaboration on plant-microbiome sciences.

MiCRop is organising the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, 5 days left to the early bird deadline
Are you interested in the plant microbiome? Join the Plant Microbiome Symposium, 17-21 June 2024 in Amsterdam. 5 days to the early bird deadline. www.symposium.microp.org
Invitation to attend the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, 17-21 June 2024, Amsterdam, the Netherlands The 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium will be held from Monday evening 17 June until Friday 21 June 2024 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This meeting is organized by Gravitation program MiCRop - Microbial Imprinting for Crop Resilience. The 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium will continue the tradition of (now) annual meetings of experts on the plant microbiome from all over the world. With these meetings we stimulate the exchange of information and ideas among researchers from around the world and working on a wide spectrum of disciplines and perspectives around the common theme of the plant microbiome. A selection of invited speakers will present their most exciting/unpublished results and expand their talk into the broader context of the field. They were invited to present stimulating or even provocative ideas, all of which should provoke lively discussions and the development of new ideas and research directions. There are many slots left for talks selected from abstracts, there will be poster presentations and flash talks, and there will be an early career market with the invited speakers and industrial representatives. See www.symposium.microp.org for more details. We look forward to welcoming you at the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, 17-21 June 2024, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
