Maria Harrison. Most vascular flowering plants are able to form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These associations, named ‘arbuscular mycorrhizas’, develop in the roots, where the fungus colonizes the cortex to access carbon supplied by the plant. The fungal contribution to the symbiosis includes the transfer of mineral nutrients, particularly phosphorus, from the soil to the...

Benjamin Wolfe: Plant and Microbial Biology Tsujimoto Endowed Lecture: "Delicious rot: using fermented foods to dissect microbiome diversity"
Benjamin Wolfe. The Wolfe Lab uses tractable microbial communities from food systems to study the ecological and evolutionary forces that shape microbial diversity. They also use food as a tool for improving microbial literacy through teaching and outreach.
Jing-Ke Weng: Buchanan Lecture: Mechanistic Basis of Metabolic Evolution in Plants
Jing-Ke Weng has broad interests in understanding the origin and evolution of plant specialized metabolism at enzyme, pathway, and systems levels, as well as how plants exploit discrete small molecules to interact with their surrounding biotic and abiotic environments. Their work in plant metabolic evolution impacts a fundamental question in biology – how do complex traits evolve in a Darwinian...

Regine Kahmann: "How Biotrophic Fungal Pathogens Colonize Plants" Regine Kahmann, Endowed Taylor-White Lecture
Regine Kahmann. Molecular phytopathology Smut fungi comprise a large group of biotrophic pathogens which parasitize mostly on grasses including a number of cereal hosts like maize, barley and wheat. They are characterized by a narrow host range, infect plants systemically and usually cause symptoms in male and female inflorescences only.
