Northern Ascomycota: Taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny of selected pyrenomycetes.
An application for a Researcher position and a Doctoral fellowship was submitted to the Norwegian Research Council 2004, but the application was rejected. However, in 2005 the University of Tromsø granted a University research fellowship (4 years) in mycology to our department. Therefore, in the application to the Norwegian Research Council in June 2005, we only applied for a Researcher position for dr. Alfred Granmo.
Cooperating scientists are Alfred Granmo (Tromsø), Ove Eriksson (Umeå), Larrissa Vasilyeva (Vladivostok), Øyvind Stensrud (Oslo) and John Beck Jensen (Tromsø).

The Northern Ascomycota is divided into the following subprojects:

1) The Lophiostomataceae s. lato: Taxonomic revision and phylogenetic analysis.

2) The Xylariaceae: Taxonomic revision of the genus Entoleuca, and its connection to allied genera in the family.
