A new University of Maryland study reveals that two strains of pathogenic fungi unexpectedly divide insect victims amongst themselves rather than aggressively compete for resources.

Using a computer model that reveals how plants grow thicker over time, biologists have uncovered how cells are activated to produce wood tissue. Understanding the genetic and molecular signals behind this growth, they hope to advance forestry practices and CO₂ storage in trees. The researchers, including Kirsten ten Tusscher from Utrecht University, publish their results today in Science.
