In a remarkable contribution to the field of microbiology, researchers have announced the discovery of a novel actinomycete strain, cg5^T, extracted from the rhizosphere soil of Cyclosorus parasiticus, a fern species located in Xiangtan City, Hunan province, China. This strain, with its unique genetic and biochemical properties, is set to redefine our understanding of the Amycolatopsis genus, which is recognized for its potential in antibiotic production and various biotechnological applications.

What makes a plant killer lose its edge? This project will investigate why fungal pathogens lose virulence when they are grown in laboratory culture away from their host plant. Use cutting-edge…

Plant cells are connected to their neighbours via ‘tubes’ called plasmodesmata, creating an interconnected cytoplasm that joins cells within and between tissues and organs.
