Monitoring and Surveillance of Aerial Mycobiota of Rice Paddy through DNA Metabarcoding and qPCR

• Christopher Miller

The airborne mycobiota has been understudied compared with the mycobiota current in different agricultural environments. Conventional, culture-based strategies enable the research of a small fraction of the organisms current within the ambiance, thus lacking vital data. On this research, the aerial mycobiota in a rice paddy has been examined throughout the cropping season (from June…
