Objective
Legumes provide 33% of humankind's protein needs and 45 Tag of fixed nitrogen for global agriculture though Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF), due to their symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizoid bacteria. Multidisciplinary research into BNF includes: microbiology; genetics; enzymologist; bioinorganic chemistry; molecular biology, genomic and polemics, recently using model bacteria and symbiotic plants. The diversity of approaches will be reflected in the 6th European Nitrogen Fixation Conference (ENFC6), which is expected to attract 300-350 participants, mostly from European laboratories. The ENFC6 Conference will be held in Toulouse, France (July, 2004).
This 4-day meeting has the following goals:
To present current, high quality, multidisciplinary research in BNF through talks and poster sessions.
To forge interactions between fundamental aspects of BNF and applications in agriculture and the environment.
To provide a forum for developing interactions and collaborations between European scientists, with colleagues particularly from Eastern Europe and Developing Countries. At the ENFC6, the opening session is intended to raise awareness of our research field by placing it in the context of global agriculture and environmental change. The remaining nine multidisciplinary sessions contain keynote talks and presentations by major scientists and junior researchers. There are two dedicated poster sessions and a special forum for junior scientists intended to foster contacts and networking. BNF research underpins society's interest in controlling the global N cycle through the development of sustainable and low-input agriculture. Many aspects of this field are changing rapidly as a result of new developments in plant and bacterial genomic, microbiology and structural biochemistry.
