Project description:We seek to determine the effects of foliar endophytes on soybean physiological traits, and their effect on plant responses to elevated carbon dioxide. We are using three dominant endophytes extracted from the SoyFACE facility at UIUC.
Project description:Two potato cultivars, Russet Burbank and Bionta, were inoculated with three different endophytes containing different AHL types. The impact of the endophytes to the different cultivars was measured by gene expression analysis with a customized microarray
