Talking Truffles with Dr Andy Nilsen from Department of Botany #AMS2022 Why are truffle spore dispersal strategies so interesting? A look into the genomes and transcriptomes of NZ truffle-like fungi.
Non-coding RNA genes of fungi - the roles and importance of these genes are rarely explored. Assoc. Professor Chris Brown and his team from University of Otago are making discoveries using comparative genomics. #AMS2022 doi.org/10.1093/molbev…
The final talk of the speaker sessions is David Orlovich, entertaining us with a project to map phylogenetic species of ectomycorrhizal fungi using eDNA and herbarium specimens, with 4,150😲hyphal ingrowth bags buried around the South Island of NZ across 50 sites #AMS2022
Sharing a link to this new paper on barriers to Nothofagus seedling establishment in grasslands, by the amazing Laura van Galen, 🌳🌼Janice Lord🐝🌿, Matthew Larcombe from Department of Botany and Tim Jowett from @MathsStatsOtago. Open access here: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…
