Dual RNA-Seq analysis unveils the multifaceted mechanisms of Trichoderma hamatum in the biological control of Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of wheat fusarium head blight
<i>Trichoderma hamatum</i> suppresses Fg via a tripartite mechanism: direct antagonism by impairing pathogen metabolism, priming wheat immunity, and mitigating physiological damage. This study provides molecular insights for using <i>T. hamatum</i> as a potent biocontrol agent against FHB.
