Uncovering Small Molecules that Mediate Plant-Fungi Interactions — NSF Award to University of California-Los Angeles (CA, $0)
The interactions between plants and fungi, both beneficial and deleterious, significantly affect agricultural output, food safety, and bioeconomy. Beneficial fungal-plant interactions can lead to increases in plant robustness and crop yield, while deleterious interactions can lead to devastating plant diseases and trem

| Abstract | The interactions between plants and fungi, both beneficial and deleterious, significantly affect agricultural output, food safety, and bioeconomy. Beneficial fungal-plant interactions can lead to increases in plant robustness and crop yield, while deleterious interactions can lead to devastating plant diseases and tremendous economic loss. Many aspects of these interactions are mediated by small organic molecules known as secondary metabolites produced by the fungi. These molecules can direct im |
