EMBO Workshop: 'Plant Viruses: Green Viruses, from Gene to Landscape'
Workshop - Hyères-les-Palmiers, France
Viruses can be both foes and friends, depending on their pathogenic or symbiotic nature, but also depending on the context of the infection, the physiological status of the host, or its ecological situation. The objectives of this EMBO Workshop are to promote and shape the common advances of the network of plant virologists towards a better comprehensive understanding of the impact that viruses of plants (and more generally of "green" organisms) have on their hosts and on ecosystems
To emphasize the diverse impacts that viruses have on their hosts at different scales, the program of this EMBO Workshop is organized into 6 sessions covering the whole continuum of biological integration levels: viral molecules structure and function, virus-host interactions at the molecular and cellular levels, trafficking in and between cells, host colonization process and host defense mechanisms, viral evolution and population dynamics, host-to-host transmission by vectors, molecular epidemiology and ecology.
The six sessions are:
Translation, Replication and Recombination
Intra- and inter-host movement
RNA silencing
Resistance mechanisms other than silencing
Epidemiology, population genetics and evolution
Molecular ecology
