Limited Scope

Foliar fungal endophytes are one of the most speciose and phylogenetically diverse guilds of symbiotic fungi, living cryptically and ubiquitously in the photosynthetic tissues of every major plant…

Characterizing the functional transition of endophytic fungi during plant senescence

Lead Institution

University of California, Santa Barbara

Principal Investigator

Ryoko Oono

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Decomposition of leaf litter by a diverse microbial community is a major biogeochemical process in the global carbon cycle. Fungi are considered the primary decomposers of plant litter, especially of…
