3.5 billion years ago, organisms (prokaryotes) are considered to appear
in water. 400 million years ago, they landed on the earth and evolved into
various life forms of organisms. Now, hundreds and thousands species of
organisms are living in forest ecosystems. They have complex associations
with others contributing to the maintenance of stability of the ecosystems.
Microorganisms such as fungi are heterotrophic and thus depend their carbon
sources on other organisms. Fungi are taxonomically diverse groups and
their functional role roughly divided into three categories based on the
pattern of associations with other organisms: saprotrophic (decomposers
of plant dead materials), parasitic (fungi deprive nutrients from living
plants and can be pathogenic) and symbiotic (mycorrhizal and endophytic
fungi).
In our laboratory, we are studying to unveil the diversity of fungal species
and their functional roles in terms of matter and energy flow in forest
ecosystems based on the fungal morphology, histology and genetic approaches.
