This project will investigate this fundamental knowledge gap by a combination of in vitro experiments, elemental, scanning electron microscopy and isotope tracer analyses, together with transcriptomic and bioinformatic analyses to address the following objectives: Quantify the ability of MFRE to extract mineral nutrients from different silicates. Characterise MFRE-mineral interactions at the chemical and physical levels. Determine fungal gene expression patterns and metabolic responses to different minerals. Establish the bioavailability of the extracted mineral nutrients to host plants.

该项目将通过结合体外实验、元素、扫描电子显微镜和同位素示踪分析，以及转录组学和生物信息学分析来研究这一基本知识差距，以实现以下目标： 量化 MFRE 从不同硅酸盐中提取矿物质营养素的能力。在化学和物理层面表征 MFRE-矿物相互作用。确定真菌基因表达模式和对不同矿物质的代谢反应。确定提取的矿物营养素对宿主植物的生物利用度。
