    • Research

    The goal of my research is to understand the genetic structure, evolution and reproduction of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. This information is extremely important for agriculture and environmental development. Gaining knowledge regarding the organism’s genetic operation is vital and necessary to the understanding of their key role in nature.
