While some types of wheat are resistant to FHB thanks to the action of the TaHRC gene at the Fhb1 locus, how this gene functions in wheat cells was unknown until now.Collaborating with Nanjing Agriculture University, the University of Adelaide resear

The role that a specific gene plays in developing resistance to the fungal pathogen has been demonstrated by a Chinese-Australian research team.

Fungal disease Fusarium head blight (FHB) is on the rise due to increasingly humid conditions induced by climate change during the wheat growing season, but a f

The randomized, controlled interventional trial also showed that circadian rhythm of the gut microbiome develops early and is detectable in vitro.

The study focused on species of the Bacteroidales order, some of the most abundant species in the human gut microbiome.
