0086363PodilaThis award supports Gopia Podila and students from the Michigan Technological University in a collaboration Robin Sen of the Department of Biology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. The project will focus on the molecular characterization of cellular development and functioning processes in conifer ectomycorrhizae, which are symbiotic root-fungal organs essential for seedling establishment and tree growth in nutrient-limited soils. The essence of the symbiosis is that the fungus provides roots with needed nitrogen and phosphorus in exchange for carbon at the root-fungus interface. A deeper understanding of the functional genomics of the symbiosis is an essential part of forest science and has considerable potential in future forest biotechnology applications the U.S. and Finland. Each lab brings unique equipment and expertise to the research, and the collaboration is a perfect match for advancing fundamental knowledge of the molecular bases of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis. Exchange of junior researchers is emphasized to add an international dimension to their training and to allow them to establish international connections early in their careers.

0086363Podila 该奖项支持 Gopia Podila 和密歇根理工大学的学生与芬兰赫尔辛基大学生物系的 Robin Sen 合作。 该项目将重点研究针叶树外生菌根细胞发育和功能过程的分子特征，针叶树外生菌根是共生的根-真菌器官，对于营养有限的土壤中的幼苗建立和树木生长至关重要。 共生的本质是真菌为根提供所需的氮和磷，以在根-真菌界面处交换碳。 对共生功能基因组学的更深入了解是森林科学的重要组成部分，并且在美国和芬兰未来的森林生物技术应用中具有巨大的潜力。 每个实验室都为研究带来了独特的设备和专业知识，这种合作对于推进外生菌根共生分子基础的基础知识来说是完美的匹配。 强调初级研究人员的交流，以增加他们的培训的国际层面，并让他们在职业生涯的早期建立国际联系。
