The work could help us better understand the evolution of sexual reproduction as well as showcases the increasing power of genome sequencing. While scientists have long suspected that certain species ...

As climate change drives fungi to adapt, their impact on our health is changing. Learn about the increasing risk of fungal ...

A research team investigates how genome editing can be harnessed to accelerate cassava breeding and improve key traits.

Right under our feet, hidden in the ground, there is a complex network of relationships: almost all plants live in close symbiosis with fungi. These fungi do not form the classic mushroom fruiting ...

Scientists have mapped the genome sequence for a wild relative of wheat, which could help in improving modern wheat varieties. Researchers at the University of Nottingham in the UK assembled a ...
