The main goal of her study is the circumscription and species delimitation of lichen taxa within these neglected group of organisms in neotropical rain forest, to clarify them taxonomically and to elucidate their species diversity. Furthermore a scheme of the modes of vegetative reproduction applicable to rain forest lichens will be built up. The project will concentrate on the dominating family Thelotremataceae and will include a monographic treatment of vegetatively reproducing taxa of this family.
"Material on loan from all parts of the world (Neotropics preferred) is highly welcome" "Please ignore no more sterile/soredious/isidous corticolous crustose lichens on your excursions, but collect it and send
it to her for treatment"

- Kranner, Ilse: - Ilse Kranner visited the Field Museum in July 1999. This visit was part of a long-term co-operation with François Lutzoni within her research projects on desiccation tolerance of plants and lichens ("Antioxidants and desiccation tolerance: A new approach to mycobiont-photobiont symbiotic associations"). One of the project goals was to study the role of the antioxidant system in the evolution of lichens.
The main purposes of Ilse Kranners visit to the lab of François Lutzoni were to perform desiccation experiments with the lichenized mushroom Omphalina hudsoniana and its isolated Coccomyxa photobiont, and with the non-lichenized species Omphalina veluptipes when grown in axenic culture. In addition, they also organized a trip to the subarctic station at Schefferville (Canada) to collect the lichen material required for the experiments.
In a joint paper, Kranner and Lutzoni (1999) conclude that only such fungal lineages that possess outstanding antioxidant systems are capable of
undergoing the transition from the non-lichenized to the lichenized state.
