The relationship between an endophyte and its host plant is not well understood, but some of these microorganisms are believed to enhance host growth and nutrient acquisition, as well as improve the plant\u2019s ability to tolerate abiotic stresses. Researchers around the world are isolating novel endophytes to investigate their potential agricultural or even pharmaceutical applications.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors to the Rare Endophyte Collectors Club will get hands-on experience in this field of research by setting up the experiment, isolating endophytes, and watching them grow over the course of the exhibition. We\u2019ll also debate and discuss the process of discovering, naming, and owning organisms in contemporary scientific research and the how and why of patenting ones findings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/genomicgastronomy.com\/work\/2016-2\/rare-endophyte-collectors-club\/\">See more about RECC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>SRISHTI STUDENTS Aanchal Anil Bagalwadi Akshay Vijay Dalvi Anahat Kaur Anisha Baid Anupa Ann Joshy Ines Barros Khushboo Hemedrasinh Vansia Nandini Tambi Ria Patel Shamika Biswas Shraddha Lohia Stuti Prakashkumar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RECC Bangalore\u00a0is a chapter of the DIY\u00a0research initiative whose goal is to locate and identify\u00a0endophytes from\u00a0local plants.
