Events
Plant performance in demanding environments – from genes to biotic interaction
Meeting of the specialist group “Experimental Ecology”
March 21 – March 24, 2010, Kiel, Germany
While classical plant ecology in the past only hesitatingly recognized the importance of molecular biology for their field of research, in recent times there is a rising ambition to trace down ecological acclimation and adaptation and even organismic interactions to the molecular level.
On the other hand, molecular biology with its originally often limited focus on mechanistic details more and more develops an interest in the ineractions of subsystems within a cell or an organism and even between organisms which allow a systemic understanding of plan responses.
The goal of our meeting will be to pomote the ongoing struggle to connect knowledge as well as methods from these seemingly disparate levels to a multi-level understanding of ecological performance of plants.
Sessions:
- How individual plants cope with demanding environments: Survival by acclimation
- Resistance traits acquired by evolution
- What can ecologists learn from model organisms?
- Free topics
