Plant growth is influenced by various microorganisms including beneficial and harmful ones. Among them are plant-infecting viruses that cause serious damage to crops and mycoviruses infecting phytopathogenic fungi that serve as biocontrol (virocontrol agent). Also, an increasing number of plant-mutualistic bacteria and fungi that enhance plant growth and stress tolerance have been found. This group is mainly engaged in the three projects below.
1 plant/pathogenic virus/vector (Plant Virus Team)
2 plant/pathogenic fungus/virus (Mycovirus Team)
3 plant/mutualisitic microorganism (Microbiology Team)
The Second International Mycovirus Symposium will be held
September 17-20, 2011 in Hokkaido, Japan
