SUMMARY:Cereals and Soil Fungi: Using microbes for agricultural sustainabi

DESCRIPTION:My work focusses on the interactions between crop plants and s
 oil microbes\, especially the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. My research at
  the Crop Science Centre (a collaboration between the University of Cambri
 dge and NIAB) uses complimentary greenhouse and field trial experiments to
  investigate the role of mycorrhizas in crop nutrition. Specifically\, we 
 are looking at the role of plant nutrient sensing in determining mycorrhiz
 al benefit to crops and exploring the potential to breed crop plants for i
 mproved interactions with these fungal symbionts.
