Fourth International Symposium on Rhizoctonia
(Aug 20-22, 2008, Berlin, Germany )
Invitation
Dear Colleagues,
The International Society of Plant Pathology Rhizoctonia Subject Matter Committee and the German Symposium Organizing Committee cordially invite you to participate in the 4th International Symposium on Rhizoctonia, which will be held in Berlin, Germany, from 20 to 23 August 2008. We look forward to welcoming you to an exciting meeting that only occurs every 5 years and has been timed to take place immediately before the International Society of Plant Pathology Congress in Torino.
The program in Berlin will focus on genomics, plant pathogen interactions, pathogen detection, disease control, molecular technologies, and innovative new findings. These topics will be addressed in lectures and poster sessions attended by leaders in research and industry. Time will be reserved for interpersonal interactions to foster collaborations. The Symposium will provide a platform for university researchers and teachers as well as government and industry researchers and extension personnel to share information on the latest issues in Rhizoctonia.
Sharing knowledge and experiences, exchanging ideas, are the ingredients that will ultimately lead to true progress in the understanding of Rhizoctonia and its pathogenic and mutualistic associations. Be an active part of this concerted effort, and join us in Berlin.
See you in Berlin in 2008!
