Phenogenomics reveals the ecology and evolution of Trichoderma fungi for sustainable agriculture
Trichoderma fungi support sustainable agriculture by suppressing plant diseases and improving crop performance. However, emerging pathogenicity of Trichoderma warrants further ecological and genetic characterization. Here we used machine learning to correlate genomic data from 37 Trichoderma strains with over 140 phenotypic traits, spanning metabolic versatility, biotic interactions, stress tolerance and reproductive strategies. We determined Trichoderma to be an ancient, genetically cohesive and […]
Benefici e limiti degli organismi usati per proteggere le piante in agricoltura sostenibile: uno studio Nature – UniPisa
I funghi del genere Trichoderma sono tra i principi attivi di natura biologica più diffusi in agricoltura sostenibile per contrastare le malattie delle colture e ridurre l’impiego di agrofarmaci di sintesi.
