WG2 Meeting No. 1
The 1st Meeting of Working Group 2 of the COST Action MiCropBiomes was held online on March 22, 2024.
The goal of this first meeting was to establish WG subgroups and to discuss strategies for the respective topics:
- Challenges related to phytobiomes’ performance (e.g., molecular level, phytobiomes’ dynamics, etc);
- Terminology;
- Applications and case studies (e.g., methods, case studies of (a)biotic conditioning).
The WG will develop a strategy to review the state of the art in its field and discuss how knowledge can be integrated (e.g. by developing a perspective paper that integrates a topic). The meeting will also serve to define the networking strategy with experts within/outside the Action (e.g., bioinformatics) and to discuss how the communication tools developed by WG5 can be used.
Two core working subgroups will be formed, in collaboration with the other WGs, to discuss the strategy to obtain the databases and the associated indicators/variables.
