Researchers using an insect model and transcriptome analysis have unraveled the mechanism of iron regulation between host tissue and the mycetoma grain, a fungal mass characteristic of the disease.

Since the 1960s, triticale has been cultivated in many places as a feed grain and had proved very resistant to mildew attack. This fungal pathogen causes huge losses in cereal production.

79 million bushels of corn were impacted by corn ear rot in 2024. Learn how to help prevent these toxic fungal infections from affecting yield and grain quality.

A naturally occurring virus co-discovered by Agricultural Research Service and university scientists may offer a way to undermine a costly fungal threat to wheat, barley and other small-grain crops.

Mycotoxins are byproducts of the fungal infections, not living organisms. They cannot be killed or removed from the grain. But producers can remove small particles such as foreign material containing ...

Wheat -- the most widely cultivated crop in the world -- is under growing attack from harmful toxins. Across Europe, almost half of wheat crops are impacted by the fungal infection that gives rise ...

"Light-based technology is easy to use, and the cost is minimal compared to many other methods. However, conventional UVC lamps emit light at a wavelength of 254 nanometers, which can cause skin ...
