Episode: How Do Fungal Systems Influence Plant Health? | A Molecular Ecologist Explains
Description: In this episode, we connect with Martin Bidartondo, a Professor of Molecular Ecology who works in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. Martin is immensely interested in fungi and plant interactions, which has led to his innovative research on the “evolutionary ecology of the diverse plants that cheat mycorrhizal mutualisms”. As someone that has always had a fascination with interactions between different species, Martin began investigating the symbioses between lineages of plants and fungi more than two decades ago. How are the changes that human life is imposing on the environment interacting with plant and...
