Areas of Expertise:

• taxonomy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)
• morphology, ultrastructure, biochemistry and molecular biology of AMF
• research on the propagation, long-term maintenance of AMF
• in vitro culture of AMF on excised roots
• development and diversification of Glomeromycota In vitro Collection (GINCO)
• identification of fungi and specialized mycology training

Current Projects:

• Fungi: Develop new information on taxonomy, phylogeny, distribution and biology of fungi, including systematic research related to biosecurity/alien invasive species as well as species involved in the development of bioproducts.
• Build and maintain reference collections and databases of fungi: Glomeromycota in vitro Collection (GINCO); AAFC Vascular Plant Herbarium (DAO) and National Mycological Herbarium (DAOM). Support for Canadian Collection of Fungal Cultures (CCFC).
• Development of phylogenomics capability, rapid detection and identification tools.
• Accurate identification, information and related training for scientific research in taxonomy, fungi propagation and biodiversity protection.
