The Seventh International Conference on Mycorrhiza (ICOM7) took place in New Delhi, India from January 6-11, 2013. This was the first that an ICOM had been held in Asia, and it was a clear successs, with 356 registrants from 46 countries. Dr. Alok Adholeya headed a very active, helpful, and enthusiastic local organizing committee, comprising a large team from the Mycorrhiza Research Group at the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). Scientific presentations were given by 4 keynote speakers, 20 plenary speakers, 96 concurrent workshop presenters and 160 poster presenters. The official opening ceremony was one of the most remarkable parts of ICOM7. |
