Relationships between mutualistic fungi and plants are exploited as they foster plant productivity and vigour. One significant problem facing the agro-forestry and agricultural industries is that the ability of beneficial fungi to colonise plant hosts is highly dependent on the genetic background of the host. Ultimately, this means that if fungal inoculants are not matched with the appropriate plant host, maximal benefits from these relationships are not achieved. This project aims to identify the first genetic markers to be used for matching plants with appropriate fungal isolates, thereby guaranteeing optimal plant performance. This will add a critical component to the global effort of increasing the productivity of our natural resources.

互利共生真菌和植物之间的关系被利用，因为它们促进植物的生产力和活力。农林业和农业工业面临的一个重要问题是有益真菌定殖植物宿主的能力高度依赖于宿主的遗传背景。最终，这意味着如果真菌接种物与适当的植物宿主不匹配，则无法实现这些关系的最大利益。该项目旨在确定用于将植物与适当的真菌分离物匹配的第一个遗传标记，从而保证最佳的植物性能。这将为提高我们自然资源生产力的全球努力增加一个重要组成部分。
