The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
This $1,083,670 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research on the spatiotemporal dynamics of plant-mycorrhizal fungal symbioses across the eastern United States. The primary awardee, the University of Tennessee, will investigate how changing global conditions impact the interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, which provide critical nutrient and water exchange. The research will examine spatial and temporal...
