The Mycorrhiza Network and the Centre for Mycorrhizal Culture Collection

documentation and information dissemination, research in the fields of energy, environment, and sustainable development was initiated towards the end of 1982. The genesis of these activities lay in TERI’s firm belief that efficient utilization of energy, sustainable use of natural resources, large-scale adoption of renewable energy technologies, and reduction of all forms of waste would move the process of development towards the goal of sustainability. The Biotechnology and Management of Bioresources Division Focusing on ecological, environmental, and food security issues, the division’s activities include working with a wide variety of living organisms, sophisticated genetic engineering techniques, and, at the grass-roots level, with village communities. The division functions through two areas—the Centre for Mycorrhizal Research, and Plant Tissue Culture and Molecular Biology. It is actively engaged in mycorrhizal research. The Mycorrhiza Network has specifically been created to help scientists across the globe in carrying out research on mycorrhiza
