Mycorrhizal Fungi: Innovations in Grassland Restoration and Sustainable Agriculture
Dr. Liz Koziol, a pioneering assistant research professor at the University of Kansas, shares her compelling journey into the realm of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and their pivotal role in grassland restoration. Her unconventional path, sparked by an unexpected lab job, and guided by mentors Jim Bieber and Peggy Schultz, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of plant-microbe interactions. We discuss how AM fungi symbiotically support plant nutrition, bolster plant immune responses, and significantly impact plant competition and ecosystem dynamics.
