Endophytic 'Bodyguards': How Insect-Killing Fungi Inside Plants Can Help Manage Pests Beneficial fungi living inside plants can act as built‑in bodyguards to weaken pests and boost plant defenses, offering a promising option for integrated pest management programs.

Amazing collection of fungal #endophytes isolated by 3rd year UCD microbiology students during lab practicals this term. These came from ivy leaves collected on the @ucddublin.bsky.social campus

Endophytic fungi boost Atractylodes growth & flavonoids more than bacteria, shaping different metabolic & genetic responses. Key for optimizing medicinal plant cultivation.

Just returned from #FEMSMICRO2025, Milan (14-17 July).

Amazing conference. I have had my biggest solo #exhibition in front of +2000 attendees, and the pleasure of giving a #talk about #FungalGalaxies.

Thank you thank you!

‘Hidden’ fungus could support future food production Scientists at the James Hutton Institute in the UK have found that a fungus hiding inside common grasses could play a major role in helping Europe’s farmers tackle some of their toughest challenges

Just read about Epichloë, the 'hidden' fungus offering natural pest resistance and drought tolerance in crops. For sustainable agriculture, low-input solutions, integrating endophytes could reduce chemical use and enhance resilience! Pretty 😎

Plant partnership: Fungi help spruce trees fight off budworm attacks University of Alberta research is showing how trees and fungi team up to survive and stay healthy against insect attacks—an alliance that could lead to more resilient forests.

Here is a beautiful #Penicillium sanguifluum 🍄

See the dark-red exudate?🩸
- sanguis = blood
- fluere = to flow

Sanguifluum would mean something like "a flowing of blood". Makes sense!
