Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a group of ancient fungi that form a mutualistic symbiosis with most land plants influencing plant productivity, survival, and composition. For these reasons AMF are often used as biofertilizers. Multiple AMF can co-colonize many plant species simultaneously creating extensive interconnected mycorrhizal networks bellow our feet. My research focuses on better understanding the evolutionary significance of the AMF unique nuclear dynamics across scales.
