Hotter Days and Tiny Plastics: Unexpected Forces Accelerating the Superbug Crisis

Rising temperatures drive a quarter of recent growth in resistant Salmonella genes, while microplastics create biofilms that speed horizontal transfer of resistance. New studies link these environmental factors to the accelerating superbug threat.…

Novel wheat hybrids increase resistance to major fungal disease by up to 70%

A new experimental study has identified a novel genetic locus in a common agricultural weed, Elymus repens, that provides significant resistance to the destructive fungal disease Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) and has now been successfully transferred into…
