This symposium is organized in parallel to the kick-off meeting of the SICOPID ERA-CAPS consortium on plasma membrane receptor signaling complexes. It is an excellent occasion for a symposium in one of the hottest topics in plant sciences at the moment. The presentations will be of high interest to many plant scientists in Switzerland and in neighboring countries.
