Abstract
Phosphorus and nitrogen are applied in agriculture at unsustainable levels. My research programme is focused on the genetics and cell biology of the legume/rhizobial and mycorrhizal symbioses that aid in the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and water. We are addressing a number of questions: to dissect the signalling pathways involved in the recognition of diffusible signals from rhizobia and mycorrhizal fungi; to understand the role and mechanism of calcium spiking in symbiotic interactions and to define the mechanisms that allow nodule formation and bacterial infection.
