This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Microbial Biology for FY2002. The fellowship supports training and research on the basic biology of protozoan, microalgal, fungal, archaeal, bacterial and viral species that are not generally considered to be model organisms. Further, it provides opportunities for a recent doctoral recipients to obtain additional training in microbial biology, to gain research experience under the sponsorship of established scientists, and to broaden his/her scientific horizons beyond the research experiences during the undergraduate and graduate training. These fellowships are further designed to assist new scientists to direct their research efforts across traditional disciplinary lines and to avail themselves of unique research resources, sites, and facilities, including foreign locations. The research and training plan is entitled "Does coniferous forest plant community composition influence the evolution of host specificity in mycorrhizal fungi? We have little understanding of spatio-temporal variation in the interactions of mycorrhizal fungi with their host plants. This research investigates the impact of large-scale variation in plant community composition in the Pacific Northwest on the evolution of host specificity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the genus Rhizopogon.

这一行动为2002财政年度NSF微生物生物学博士后奖学金提供资金。 该研究金支持关于原生动物、微藻、真菌、古菌、细菌和病毒物种的基础生物学的培训和研究，这些物种通常不被视为模式生物。此外，它为最近的博士生提供了机会，以获得微生物生物学方面的额外培训，在既定科学家的赞助下获得研究经验，并拓宽他/她的科学视野，超越本科和研究生培训期间的研究经验。这些奖学金还旨在帮助新科学家指导他们的研究工作，跨越传统学科，并利用独特的研究资源，地点和设施，包括外国地点。研究和培训计划的题目是“针叶林植物群落组成是否影响菌根真菌寄主特异性的演变？ 我们对菌根真菌与其宿主植物相互作用的时空变化知之甚少。本研究探讨了西北太平洋地区植物群落组成的大规模变化对外生菌根真菌的寄主特异性的演变的影响。
