7th International Mycosphaerella and Stagonospora Symposium

The 7th International Mycosphaerella and Stagonospora Symposium will consider mainly the Mycosphaerella and Stagonospora pathogen communities infecting cereals and bananas.

The program will bring together all major researchers in the field with the goal of stimulating multidisciplinary approaches to control these globally important diseases. The program will include sessions focussed on pathogen biology and genetics, genomics, resistance breeding, population genetics and evolutionary biology, and disease management.

All sessions will include contributed papers by invited speakers. Ample opportunities will be provided to present posters and to meet with colleagues. The program will also include panel discussions and a field excursion. The venue will be the Monte Verità Conference Centre in beautiful Ascona, Switzerland, just two hours away from Torino.
