In a TMR-network (Training and Mobility of Researchers) of the European Union about 30 young postdoctoral scientists were involved in the theme of this report, working in the 9 laboratories. The work covered the following aspects: 1. Molecular basis of competition, specificity and signalling in symbiosis; 2. The rhizobia infection process and triggering of defence reactions; 3. Membrane targeting, defence reactions and symbiosis specific gene expressions; 4. Biological control with rhizosphere bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi. The following review reports on major achievements of these broad topics.
