Fungal diseases destroy 10-23% of cereal crops even with treatment, costing the global agriculture sector an estimated $60 billion annually across rice, wheat, and maize alone, losses equivalent to feeding up to 4 billion people. French microbiology specialist   Conidia Coniphy  has developed FungiRESIST, a long-read DNA sequencing platform that maps fungicide resistance across entire pathogen populations in a single test, enabli
