We start the second day of our annual meeting with a keynote talk of Dr. Dejana Pankovic. She started our morning session on crop-microbiome assembly dynamics under specific environments and gave an enlightening talk on bacterial priming responses of resistance&growth parameters.

The first annual conference on the COST action MicropBiomes has started! We have been spoiled with some wonderful talks and keynote lectures such as the one of @EmilioMontesinos who showed us the importance of functional peptides in plant disease control.
