Scientists develop new DNA technique to aid crops and trees at risk from deadly 'honey fungus'

(PhysOrg.com) -- An international team of scientists has developed a new technique to aid crops at risk from a devastating agricultural parasite commonly known as the 'honey fungus', one of the most serious diseases of trees and shrubs across the northern hemisphere. The development allows crop to be screened for natural resistance by adding DNA with fluorescent genes to the fungus before being planted out.
