This project studies the symbiotic relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plants, focusing on their genetic diversity and evolutionary success. It aims to understand how these fungi adapt to their plant hosts and maintain beneficial interactions in terrestrial ecosystems.
Virtually all terrestrial plants depend on symbiotic interactions with fungi.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi evolved over 450 million years ago, are obligate biotrophs and cannot complete their lifecycle without obtaining carbon from host roots.
Mediating nutrient uptake and sequestering carbon in soil this symbiosis lie at the core of all terrestrial ecosystems.
Plants on the other hand are facultative mycotrophs but under natural conditions all host roots are colonized as a result of multip…
