Integration of fungal transcriptomics and metabolomics provides insights into the early interaction between the ORM fungus Tulasnella sp. and the orchid Serapias vomeracea seeds

mycolabadmin

This research explores how orchid fungi recognize and respond to orchid seeds before even touching them. Scientists used advanced molecular techniques to track changes in fungal genes and chemical compounds during the early stages of this symbiotic partnership. The findings show that the fungus actively prepares itself to penetrate the seed’s protective barriers, producing special enzymes and metabolites that facilitate this critical interaction for orchid survival.

Physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in germinated wheat grain

When wheat grains sprout due to moisture and humidity during harvest, they lose quality and economic value. This study examined what happens to sprouted wheat grain under different moisture, temperature, and time conditions. The researchers found optimal conditions to maximize desirable components like starch and protein while minimizing harmful microbial contamination. The findings show that sprouted wheat can potentially be converted into useful industrial products, turning a harvest problem into an opportunity.
