Paleontologists studying insects trapped in amber from 99 million years ago have made a remarkable discovery: an ant and a ...

In a new study, the researchers identified a key molecule produced by plant roots, a small peptide called CLE16, that encourages plants and beneficial soil fungi to interact with each other.

Infection-causing fungi responsible for millions of deaths a year will spread significantly to new regions as the planet heats up, new research predicts —and the world is not prepared.

However, the fungi are unlikely to be a solution for stemming the global flood of waste. A plastic bottle drifts on the waves of the sea at a fishing port in Isumi, east of Tokyo, Japan November ...

Scientists use small peptides to enhance symbiosis between plants and fungi, offering a sustainable alternative to artificial fertilizers. Plant biologists discover new plant molecule, CLE16, as ...

GENEVA, March 27 (Reuters) - Nearly a third of species of fungi assessed by an international conservation group are at risk of extinction from threats like deforestation and agricultural expansion ...

Fungi are having a cultural moment, thanks in large part to the horror franchise The Last of Us, in which society has collapsed after an outbreak of a fungal infection that turns humans into ...

Fungi grow by releasing spores that turn into long, filamentous threads that are thinner than a strand of human hair, explained Nicholas P. Money, a fungal biologist at Miami University in Oxford ...

Small peptides, specifically CLE16, can enhance the symbiotic relationship between plants and beneficial fungi, offering a sustainable alternative to artificial fertilizers.

Infection-causing fungi responsible for millions of deaths a year will spread significantly to new regions as the planet heats up, new research predicts —and the world is not prepared.

Aspergillus fumigatus, which prefers more temperate climates, is predicted to spread northwards toward the North Pole as global temperatures rise. Its spread could increase by 77.5 percent by 2100, ...
