🌱 Friend or foe? The hidden world of fungi and seed fitness 🍄 Not all fungi are harmful. In SPIN-FERT, we're exploring how different fungi influence the health and vitality of crop seeds. #MissionSoil #SoilBiology #PlantHealth

How can you protect something that hasn’t yet been named? A recent study in @currentbiology.bsky.social finds that only 155,000 of Earth’s roughly 2–3 million fungal species have been formally described. When #fungi remain unnamed, they are much harder to study, recognize, and protect.

The competition between fungi for nitrogen and niche overlap can be exploited as a biocontrol strategy for fighting plant’s pathogens, such as Verticillium species… read more in K Oszust, F Pinzari, E Donati and M Frąc paper: doi.org/10.1002/ps.7... #fungi #biocontrol #phenotyping #Trichoderma

Competition in fungi for nitrogen and niche overlap as a biocontrol strategy

Niche overlap and stress indices reveal the functional behavior of Verticillium and Trichoderma strains, their mechanisms of competition and dynamics as pathogens and antagonists, thereby helping dev...
