What fungal features are key to developing environmental resilience?

该项目的目的是确定有助于东南极土壤真菌生物群环境复原力的关键机制。我们将使用最先进的方法对适应寒冷的真菌和温带物种进行比较表型和基因组分析。预期的成果包括增强对真菌生命树作出重大贡献的能力，同时获得关于在生命极限的模式生态系统中真菌适应的新知识。皇家植物园和领域信托基金的重大好处是完成了量化和鉴定真菌生物多样性的使命，并建立了一个恢复和更新计划，为澳大利亚生态系统的未来管理和恢复提供信息。

The aim of this project is to identify key mechanisms contributing to environmental resilience within the east Antarctic soil mycobiome. We will use cutting-edge approaches to perform comparative phenotypic and genomic analyses on cold-adapted fungi against temperate species counterparts. Intended outcomes include an enhanced capacity to contribute substantially to the fungal tree of life while gaining new knowledge on fungal adaptations in a model ecosystem at the limits of life. Significant benefits to the Royal Botanical Gardens and Domain Trust is delivery on their mission to quantify and qualify fungal biodiversity, and building of a restore and renew program that will inform future management and restoration of Australian ecosystems.
