Outline
Microbiome-influenced traits in plant, animal and soil systems have the potential to benefit their hosts as well as the environment in many ways including resistance to disease and pests, efficient nutrient utilization, improved food quality and safety and resilience in managed and natural ecosystems. This workshop will explore advances in our knowledge of the complexities and dynamics in these natural microbial ecosystems as a foundation for developing strategies to intentionally modulate microbiomes. The presentation will be followed by a discussion session focused on how knowledge gained from diverse microbial communities can lead to more general understanding of agriculturally related microbiomes and how these diverse scientific communities could collaborate to build more robust fundamental knowledge across each domain.
