Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Scott is a leading authority in the study of fungal endophytes of grasses. With the elucidation of a number of unique fungal secondary metabolites providing bio protective benefits to colonized plants, he has uncovered defining features of this symbiosis. In addition, he has made seminal contributions to uncovering the program that controls and restricts growth of the fungal endophyte inside its host and has shown that this is a critical feature for the symbiotic interaction. During his stay in Germany, he intends to study the balance between symbiosis and pathogenesis in a broader context. |
