Plant-Microbial Interactions and Biodiversity
EF 2017-18
Résumé
The recent development of molecular methods to study the biodiversity of microbes
is revealing the incredible diversity of microbial communities and the importance of
plant-microbe interactions for the fitness, distribution and function of plants. The
objective of the CRC is to use global biodiversity surveys and experimental
manipulations of forest plants and the microbes living on their leaves to understand
the ecology and evolution of plant-microbe associations in forest ecosystems. The
proposed research will greatly expand our understanding of the mechanisms of
plant-microbe interactions and their importance for forest ecosystem function along
broad spatial and environmental gradients.
