My research topic: Exploring the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on cereal grain nutritionI am doing the research to determine the functions of AM fungi on cereal crop such as rice and wheat about micronutrient uptake and phytate accumulation to improve grain bioavailable nutrition levels. I will also demonstrate whether the micronutrition being location on grain and the related interest gene expression affected by AM fungi.
