Abstracts |
Completion of the genome sequence of the model tree Populus trichocarpa, the first perennial plant to be tackled, will paradoxically prove to be a flagship project for symbiosis research – in its wake, the United States Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) is now planning on sequencing several known Populus associates, the endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices and the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor. Why focus on organisms associated with Populus? Why these organisms? What do G. intraradices and L. bicolor have to contribute to our knowledge of the function of symbiotic fungi? |
