Project Detail

Improvement of phytoremediation capacity and production potential of energy crops grown in contaminated and poor soils by means of endophytic and mycorrhizal symbionts

Name: Improvement of phytoremediation capacity and production potential of energy crops grown in contaminated and poor soils by means of endophytic and mycorrhizal symbionts
Researchers: Mrnka Libor (head – principal researcher)
Schmidt Christoph Stephan (member of research team)
Rozehnalová Tereza (member of research team)
Koblihová Helena (member of research team)
Frantík Tomáš (member of research team)
Vosátka Miroslav (member of research team)
Provider: Technologická agentura České republiky
Number: TA03011184
Realization from: 2013
Realization to: 2016
Summary: The project aim is to enhance plant tolerance and biomass production by means of bacterial and fungal endophytes. Three energy crops (Populus sp., Miscanthus sp. and Brassica napus) grown at poor or contaminated sites serve as a source of endophytes and as a sink of developed inocula in future.
