London, Jan 24 (TIWN) Researchers have demonstrated that unique fungi strengthen the "immune systems" of wheat and bean plants against aphids.
"In order for us to really use fungi to control agricultural pests in the future, we need to understand the mechanisms and processes behind their activity. So, it's very exciting that we have managed to advance a step closer", said researcher Nicolai Vitt Meyling, Associate Professor from the University of Copenhagen.
