My overall interest is in the evolutionary biology of fungi with a special emphasis on fungal reproductive biology and symbiotic associations. My work to date focused on one lineage of fungi known as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomeromycota). Glomeromycota colonize roots of the majority of land plants, including many crop species, and form a symbiosis, in which the fungi assist plants in the uptake of mineral nutrients in exchange for plant-assimilated carbon. My short-term research goals are to understand several aspects of the basic biology of these organisms
