Draft genome sequence data of Fusarium verticillioides strain REC01, a phytopathogen isolated from a Peruvian maize

mycolabadmin

Researchers sequenced the genome of a fungus that causes rot disease in corn plants, specifically from samples found in Peru. The fungus produces toxins that harm both human and animal health and reduces crop yields. By analyzing the fungus’s genetic code and comparing it with other strains, scientists can better understand how it causes disease and develop better strategies to protect corn crops.

Multi-locus phylogenetic network analysis of Ampelomyces mycoparasites isolated from diverse powdery mildews in Australia and the generation of two de novo genome assemblies

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered and studied 20 new species of a beneficial fungus called Ampelomyces that naturally attacks powdery mildew, a common plant disease found in Australia. They created detailed genetic maps of two of these fungal strains to better understand how they work as biological control agents. This research could help develop better natural ways to protect crops like grapes and vegetables from powdery mildew without using chemical pesticides.

A high-quality genome assembly of Lactarius hatsudake strain JH5

mycolabadmin

Scientists have completed a detailed genetic blueprint of the red milk mushroom (Lactarius hatsudake), an edible and medicinal fungus that grows in pine forests. This mushroom is nutritious and has been shown to help with diabetes, boost immunity, and fight harmful bacteria. The new genetic map is much more complete and detailed than previous versions, which will help farmers grow these valuable mushrooms more reliably and sustainably, and could lead to developing better varieties.
