Project description:We seek to determine the effects of foliar endophytes on soybean physiological traits, and their effect on plant responses to elevated carbon dioxide. We are using three dominant endophytes extracted from the SoyFACE facility at UIUC.
Project description:Comparative metabolomics study of fungal foliar endophytes and their long-lived host, the Rainforest palm Astrocaryum sciophilum: a model for deciphering host-microbe interactions and exploring metabolite chemodiversity.
