Course objectives
The overall objectives of this course are to expand doctoral student knowledge of diverse inter-kingdom interactions. The lectures will explore a number of examples of interactions between animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and visuses, providing insights in the molecular and cellular bases of their development, methodological approaches to their study and applicative potential.

- Understanding of their cellular and molecular bases
Applying knowledge and understanding
- The ability to identify common aspects in diverse interactions
- The ability to apply the methodological approaches exposed to address a different experimental question

Program
The course is divided into four sections, lectured by experts in each field, and focused on the following topics:
1) Symbiotic relationships between mycoviruses and fungal hosts2) Plant-interacting soil microorganisms and their effects on biotic and abiotic stress tolerance3) Yeast-insect associations: impacts on insect behaviour and development4) Plant endosymbioses with bacteria and fungiPreliminary program:
