UK wheat faces a serious new threat: yellow rust has overcome Yr15 resistance in major varieties. A BBSRC /DEFRA Rapid Response led by JIC with Niab and RRes as partners is hunting new resistance genes to protect harvests. 🌾 www.niab.com/news-views/n...
Now out in Nature Medicine: 17 medical and One Health mycology networks, including F1AMR, argue that "Drug-resistant fungal disease must be addressed in the 2026 update to the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance"
F1AMR and @climarnetwork.bsky.social in Open Access Government: "Addressing the silent pandemic: the interplay between climate change and AMR". Global heating is likely to drive increased fungicide use, which drives resistance - at the same time as allowing potential pathogens to expand their range
Call for submissions! JMM’s Fungal Pathogenesis collection showcases research and reviews that enhance our knowledge of fungal infections, while also exploring new challenges and treatment approaches. Find out more: https://microb.io/48Bqx03
Our programme for May 7th (Manchester and online) is now live - in-person registration open until April 21st! Lots of great speakers including @mcmomany.bsky.social @aoifeodriscoll.bsky.social @normanvanrhijn.bsky.social @jon-otter.bsky.social www.fungalamr.org/post/f1amr-s...
Such a good day playing Resistance Reservoirs at the Great Exhibition Road Festival yesterday! Come down to the Underground Adventure Zone 12-6 today to learn about fungal disease and antifungal resistance #GERF2026 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social
