IS-MPMI is a partner in the Phytobiomes Initiative, and the Phytobiomes Research and Translational Roadmap draft is currently being circulated from broad community input and review. Comments, edits or suggestions are encouraged on this document to ensure a breadth of perspectives are included.
The key challenge for the Phytobiomes Initiative is to develop a path for generating a comprehensive, systems-level understanding of all of the components in agronomically important plant biomes (i.e., phytobiomes) and translate the resulting knowledge into broad improvements in the productivity and sustainability of agroecosystems and forests.
To that end, IS-MPMI members are encouraged to comment on a draft document to help frame the final Phytobiomes Research and Translation Roadmap. Submit your input by October 15.
