An international team of researchers, headed by Professor Dr. Bart Thomma from the Institute for Plant Sciences in Cologne, has made significant discoveries regarding fungi.
The study, part of the Collaborative Research Center MiBiNet, explores the mechanisms by which fungi utilize ancient antimicrobial proteins to target both plant hosts and their microbial communities.
Published on April 30, 2026, this research could enhance our understanding of plant-fungal interactions and their implications for agriculture.
