The focus of this meeting is "Roots to the Future".
Papers and posters may be related to any aspect of root and rhizosphere research, including genetics, physiology and function, root-soil interactions, methods in root and rhizosphere research, agricultural crops, forestry, model plants including Arabidopsis, root pathogens, carbon cycling, root-microbe interactions, applications of root research, soil stabilisation with vegetation etc…
Provisional list of sessions:

  • Root-soil interactions
  • Genes, traits, & phenotyping
  • Reconciling genetics with environmental physiology
  • Root sensing of the environment
  • Root function and uptake/transport
  • Linking structure to function
  • Carbon transfers and cycling
  • Evolution of root structure
  • Heavy metals tolerance and bioremediation
  • Root pathogens and diseases
  • Roots in the field
  • Environmental impact of roots
  • Extreme environments
  • Root-microbe interactions including mycorrhizae, nodulation and N-fixation
  • Roots in food security and agricultural sustainability
  • Roots in a changing environment
