- 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 $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of New Mexico to investigate the rare occurrence of fungal-insect symbiotic relationships. The project aims to understand why fungi rarely form long-term beneficial partnerships with insects, unlike the more common bacterial-insect symbioses. Specifically, the research will explore the co-evolutionary history and genome architecture of fungal...
