Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza as International Celebrity in Conservation Biology Rocks World with Landmark Michael Faraday Research Award-2015 in Conservation Biology
16 May, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP
Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza are helping to cultivate world''s future scientists. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to excel. In historic victory the celebrity scientists: Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza honored with Michael Faraday Research Award-2015 in Conservation Biology. Ahead of several thousands competitors, Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza representing India won prestigious Michael Faraday Research Award-2015 in Conservation Biology. Again India has proved its International leadership via producing brilliant scientists in the form of Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza. IASR expressed, 'It is a privilege to have such international celebrity from Conservation Biology among us who will shape the future of this domain.' Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza made International news headlines while IASR announced them among World’s 500 Most Influential Conservation Biologists for Year 2015 on Earth.
Dr. James D`Souza is Assistant Professor at Department of Botany, St. Xavier`s College Mapusa, Goa, India. His Professional Interests are Development of mycorrhizas; Role arbuscular mycorrhiza(AM) in plant nutrition; mycorrhizal symbioses; Taxonomy of Am fungi; Mass multiplication of AM fungi; Different aspects of colonization; colonization type.
Dr. Maria Aninha Araujo Ricardo Fonseca is Associate Professor at Department of Botany, St. Xavier`s College Mapusa, Goa, India.
Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won Michael Faraday Research Award-2015 in Conservation Biology. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'The Journal of Biodiversity'. In their report on Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) Fungal Status in Endemic Genus Glyphochloa they mention that The Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis is the most widespread and abundant plant–microbe symbiosis. Five plant species belonging to endemic genus Gylophochloa were investigated for AM colonization. Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization was recorded in all the plant species. Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization was characterized by presence of Hyphae, Arbuscules and Vesicles. Comparative studies on AM colonization showed variation ranging from (22- 86%). Four species recorded Paris type` while one species recorded Arum type. The AM status of plant species were reported for the first time from this genus. Our results provide information which can be use for the conservation and restoration programmes of these endemic plant species. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza as valuable intellectuals for the India offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for India is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus India which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Maria A Fonseca and James D’Souza to world.
The role of AM fungi in supporting the plant growth is considered in many conservation programmes of rare, endemic and endangered taxa (Barroetavena et al., 1998; Fisher and Jayachandran 2002; Gemma et al., 2002). However to use this beneficial, bio-inoculants for the conservation programmes, there is need to study AM fungal species composition. This may facilitate the potential use of AM fungi in future endeavours aimed at their conservation. More detailed studies on AM fungal species composition and plant phenology is needed to use them future reforestation programme.
