Rust Fungi of the Atlantic Rain Forest Domain

该项目的PI将在三年内收集巴西大西洋雨林区的锈菌，并准备信息丰富的植物标本，对研究生进行锈菌分类学培训，并制作电子数据库，用于巴西锈菌的进一步研究。 真菌作为一个群体知之甚少，而在真菌中，锈病甚至更被忽视，尽管它们是经济上重要植物的严重疾病的原因。PI拥有超过30年的这组生物体的经验，并将利用他的专业知识，收集超过1800个新的锈菌标本，将存放在四个主要的标本馆在巴西和美国这些标本将是一个很好的资源，为未来的工作者，将电子数据库，也将从这项研究中产生。 采集区域选择在大西洋雨林区域内，这是一种濒危的生态系统类型（今天存在的生物群落的原始范围不到5-10%），这使得该项目将产生的真菌生物多样性的文件迫切需要。 --aaaaa ; á à ªá = 0.00000000000000 ╗ ª O 2 8 D P \ D L X ‗ Ñ ║ áááááááááááááááááááááááá Meredith's MacHD：应用程序：Microsoft Word：模板：普通

The PI on this project will collect rust fungi in the Atlantic Rain Forest Domain in Brazil over a three-year period and prepare information-rich herbarium specimens, conduct training of graduate students in the taxonomy of rust fungi, and produce electronic databases for use in further research on Brazilian rust fungi. The fungi as a group are very poorly known, and among fungi, the rusts are even more neglected, even though they are responsible for serious diseases of economically important plants. The PI has over 30 years of experience with this group of organisms, and will use his expertise to collect more than 1800 new specimens of rust fungi that will be deposited at four major herbaria both in Brazil and in the U.S. These specimens will be an excellent resource for future workers, as will the electronic database that will also result from this study. The collecting areas have been selected within the Atlantic Rain Forest Domain, an endangered ecosystem type (less than 5-10% of the original extent of this biome exists today), which makes the documentation of fungal biodiversity that this project will produce urgently needed. -- aݪ ▀ ; ᪠ªá = ÓaOÀ h¢µ +'ª`0 ╗   ª O 2 8 D P \ d l x ‗ Ñ ║ áááááááááááááááááááááááá Meredith's MacHD:Applications:Microsoft Word:Templates:Normal
