SES Researcher receives $1.3 million award from DOE to study mycorrhizal associations in biofuel sorghum

Posted by SiteSteward on August 9, 2020

The roots of most plants form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and harnessing these symbioses could reduce irrigation and fertilizer inputs for more sustainable production of many crops, including biofuel sorghum. Regents’ Professor Nancy Johnson in the School of Earth & Sustainability was awarded $1.3 million to collaborate with researchers at the University of Georgia to study the beneficial associations between… Read more
