SUMMARY:Sweet talks and trade deals in symbiotic associations\, Chaos 
 & Complex Systems Seminar\, Jean-Michel Ané\, UW Department of Agrono
 my
DESCRIPTION:Living organisms\, such as plants\, animals and humans in 
 particular\, interact constantly with microbes present in their enviro
 nment to form symbioses. These symbioses are very dynamic and can rang
 e all along a continuum between mutually beneficial interactions to pa
 rasitic ones. Sometimes\, these associations are necessary for the sur
 vival of one or both partners\, but they can also be facultative. Thes
 e associations can be lost or acquired over time depending on environm
 ental constraints. We will discuss how plants and microbes communicate
  (sweet talks) to initiate and maintain symbiotic associations\, how t
 hese mechanisms evolved or have been lost sometimes\, but also how nut
 rients exchanges between partners are regulated with interesting simil
 arities to economic markets (trade deals).
