Description
Mohammed Abdelrahem and co-authors grow two fungi together to unlock chemicals neither makes alone, then test the brew against the fungus that rots onion bulbs in storage. Basal rot is a leading limit on onion yields, and growers need alternatives to chemical fungicides. The paired culture's extract was tested in dishes and in a greenhouse.
The extract strongly halted the rot fungus at low concentration and showed antioxidant power too. It was richest in phenolic compounds, and chemical profiling confirmed the pairing changed what the fungi produced. In the greenhouse, treated infected onions grew better on every measure and built up more pigments, sugars, and proteins. The authors present fungal partnerships as a source of new crop protectants.
