Ninth Mycological Congress, Edinburgh, UK
1 August 2010 - 1 August 2010
United Kingdom
The Ninth Mycological Congress will take place from 1 to 6 August 2010 in Edinburgh, UK.
Fungal biology is gaining in importance in everyday life, playing an important role in biotechnology, medicine and the food industry. Fungi are crucial to the functioning of Earth ecosystems because of the role they play in decomposition and nutrient cycling.
New areas of research will be reviewed within five main conference themes:
- cell biology, biochemistry and physiology,
- environment, ecology and interaction,
- evolution, biodiversity and systematics,
- fungal pathogenesis and disease control,
- genomics, genetics and molecular biology.
The event programme includes 300 oral presentations within 45 thematic symposia and supplemented by over 1000 posters, optional special interest group meetings, field trips and an exhibition. A complementary public exhibition, entitled 'From another kingdom', will be hosted at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh during the conference.For further information, please visit:
