II REBRAM

Two years after the I REBRAM took place in Lavras, MG, the II Brazilian Meeting on Mycorrhizae was organized by researchers from various institutions in the State of São Paulo. A pre-REBRAM workshop on endomycorrhizal taxonomy was taught by Dr. Joseph B. Morton and Dr. Christopher Walker.

The II REBRAM had 6 conferences given by Brazilian and foreign researchers and 73 abstracts in different areas of research with mycorrhizae.

Organizers: Dra. Vera Lúcia R. Bononi, Dr. Eli S. Lopes, Dra. Nilse K.S. Yokomizo, Dra. Elke J.B.N. Cardoso, Dra. Siu M. Tsai Saito.

Date: 05 to 09 October of 1987

The Abstract book's cover of II REBRAM was adopted in other subsequent editions and shows a mushroom (in allusion to ectomycorrhizae) and at its base a spore of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (in allusion to arbuscular endomycorrhizae).
