SUMMARY:Correct behaviour: how plant cells respond appropriately to differ

DESCRIPTION:Plant roots can engage in beneficial intracellular symbioses w
 ith nitrogen-fixing bacteria and nutrient-delivering fungi. One question i
 s how roots distinguish bacterial from fungal symbionts and ensure the act
 ivation of appropriate responses. This question is intriguing because plan
 ts utilize a common signal transduction system for both symbioses and the 
 rhizosphere microbiome potentially exposes plant cells both partners at th
 e same time. The talk will illuminate two possible mechanistic decision po
 ints in the signalling process\, receptor kinase and transcription factor 
 complexes.\n\n1. Singh\, S.\, Katzer\, K.\, Lambert\, J.\, Cerri\, M.\, an
