Richard Zaidan (richard.zaidan@pc.gc.ca) has requested the distribution of the following:
Betsy Arnold from the University of Arizona will be giving a presentation
today on her upcoming research in the park. The title is "Fungal
endophytes of the boreal biome: keys to understanding the evolution of
plant-fungal symbioses".
She will be studying of endophytic fungi and their function in boreal
forests. Endophytic fungi are one of the most common but least-studied
group of symbionts on Earth. Endophytes occur in healthy above ground
tissue of all plants. They are defined as fungi living within plants or
lichens without causing detectable symptoms of disease. Although they are
abundant in all terrestrial biomes, endopyhtes peak in phylogenetic
diversity in the boreal forest. Symbionts such as endophytes will play key
roles in mitigating and driving response of boreal forests to climate
change.
Come and find out what it is all about.
