FunCrops: new project on endophyte rescue of plant stress

By chawkes

We are starting a new collaborative effort to understand how fungi living in leaves of crop plants enhance plant resistance to pathogens and drought. This work is funded by the NCSU GRIP4PSI program.

For more information, see the CALS news story Using Leaf Fungi to Improve Crop Resilience.
