MycoExpo — An exhibition on fungi diversity

Fungal Photo Exhibition where iGEM teams can showcase their photography talents by capturing vivid and colourful visuals of fungi in their surroundings and appreciate their extensive diversity. Fungi are often vibrant, displaying great morphological variance and amazing patterns. Capturing and documenting them enables us to create a knowledge base on fungi within the iGEM community.

    Fusarium wilt disease of banana is one of the most devastating diseases and was responsible for destroying banana plantations in the late nineteenth century. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense is the causative agent. Presently, both race 1 and 4 strains of Foc are creating havoc in the major banana-growing regions of the world.
