Overview

Marc-André Selosse is affiliated with the University of Gdańsk in Poland. Their research primarily focuses on interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and plants, particularly orchids, contributing to several fields of study including Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.

Their work spans subfields such as Plant Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Ecology. The main topics of their research include:

  • Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions
  • Plant and animal studies
  • Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases
  • Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions
  • Plant Parasitism and Resistance
  • Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
  • Plant Diversity and Evolution

Marc-André Selosse has published extensively in several venues. Frequent publication platforms include:
