Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) shows promise as a safer alternative to fumigants for managing Fusarium oxysporum in strawberries. James Littrell et al. showed that ASD effectiveness depends on amendment composition and soil texture: doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-… @PlantDiseaseGuy

Chemistry writes the story of life. Every cell, every second, it tells it again - powered by molecular design. At the core of this process lies the citric acid cycle, the central hub of metabolism. Here, acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, or proteins enters a precise…

What if we could watch pathogenesis in real time? Our collab with @tapomoy89, jointly led by Syona @syonaphyceae and Sree @padmanabh97, shows how soil-like 3D regimes reshape our understanding of plant-fungal interactions! shorturl.at/32kzX @NCBS_Bangalore
