Resumen
|
Plant roots and mucosal surfaces of animals are colonized by complex and diverse microbial communities that include bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses and protozooa (microbiota). In both animal and plants, the microbiota contribute to many beneficial processes in the host including nutrition acquisition, optimal cellular development and defense against pathogenic microbes. Thus, the microbiota living in association or within animal and plants play an important role in several physiological activities required for host survival and prevention of disease. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the world’s leading scientists working on the microbiome in animal and plants to present and discuss cutting edge research in their fields. In addition, an important goal of the meeting will be to compare and discuss mechanistic aspects of the microbiota in animal and plants to foster cross-fertilization and collaborations across both fields.
