Endophytic Fungus Helps Basil Survive Cold
Original: Endophytic Fungus Boosts Cold Tolerance in Basil by Activating Cold-Response Genes
Researchers report that an endophytic fungus can boost cold tolerance in basil by activating the plant's cold-response genes. The finding, covered by Bioengineer.org, suggests a biological approach to protecting the herb from low-temperature stress, potentially reducing crop losses without chemical treatments. Little additional detail is available beyond the headline claim.
Why now: unclear
