EFS17 Program

Program

This 2025 Edition of EFS is entitled: Fusarium in a world of interactions.

Fusarium species live in interactions with other microorganisms, plants and animals and are reacting to global changes. We are planning to hold a major event to highlight the role and impact of these interactions to address the new challenges of the One-Health concept, and to serve as a forum to facilitate interactions within the scientific community

The scientific program is organized around 5 sessions of oral and poster presentations

Sessions 

1- Fusarium genetics & physiology

Description: Fusarium spp, like all living organisms, is the site of numerous molecular interactions involved in its development and physiology. This session is dedicated to genetic, genomic, epigenetic and other molecular studies that unravel the molecular mechanisms involved in the physiology of the fungus at the subcellular level.

Keywords: genetics, genomics, epigenetics, physiology, molecular interactions

2- Fusarium, interactions with microbiota and with hosts

Description: The holobiont concept, which considers hosts and their associated organisms, offers a new holistic perspective in the life sciences. Studies aimed at understanding how Fusarium interacts with hosts (e.g. plants, insects, animals and humans) and/or their microbiota are welcome, as well as studies investigating interactions among Fusarium species/strains.

Keywords: microbial interactions, plant-pathogen interaction, meta()omics

3-Fusarium interactions with the changing environment

Description: Global change can impact Fusarium in different ways. This session looks at the interactions between Fusarium and abiotic factors, as well as shifts in fusarium species distribution (population dynamics) resulting from global changes in terms of climate, agricultural practices, population dynamics, etc.

Keywords: climate change, abiotic factors, population dynamics

4- Fusarium in the future - forecasting and new developments

Description: In the era of big data, the ever-increasing volume and complexity of data presents a real challenge, but also opens the door to new bioinformatics approaches. From the integration of complex data, the development of modelling tools, studies on these topics will find their place in this session. 

Keywords: modelling tools, database resource sustainability, investigation tools

5- Other topics on Fusarium or  their Mycotoxins

Description: Other Fusarium related topics not covered by the other sessions are also welcome. These could include new methodological approaches, studies focusing on Fusarium mycotoxins, new taxonomy of the genus, etc.

Keywords: new methodology, mycotoxin toxicity, mycotoxin biodegradation
