Isolation and Characterization of Novel Biomolecules from Fungi Establishing Mutualistic or Pathogenic Interactions with Roots of Arabidopsis and Nicotiana Species

The goal of my project is to study the interaction of Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana attenuata with root-colonizing fungi. These fungi, i.e. Piriformospora indica, Mortierella hyalina, Alternaria brassicae and Verticillium dahliae, exudate compounds..
