Fungal genomics is the large-scale study of fungal genomes, encompassing gene content, structure, and evolutionary relationships across fungal species. In plant science, it is essential for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant-fungal interactions, including both mutualistic partnerships like mycorrhizae and destructive pathogens responsible for major crop diseases. Decoding fungal genomes enables researchers to identify virulence factors, resistance targets, and symbiotic pathways that inform strategies for protecting and enhancing plant health.
