This project investigates the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and soil fungi, focusing on enhancing carbon delivery from rice plants to fungi. By engineering rice to optimize this relationship, the project aims to improve nutrient uptake, reduce fertilizer use, and increase carbon sequestration in soil.
The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis between plants and symbiotic soil fungi confers key nutritional benefits to plants:
AM fungi increase plant productivity by up to 30% by improving mineral nutrient uptake from the soil.
In exchange for these nutrients, plants transfer more than one gigaton of photosynthetically fixed carbon each year to the AM fungal network in the soil.
This carbon transfer has a major impact not just on plant and fungal physiology, but also on the global carbon cycle.…
