Global distribution of three Lactarius species with cultivation potential. L. deliciosus (yellow), L. indigo (pink), and L. subindigo (blue) compiled from georeferenced records from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (11). Annual afforestation activity for the period 2010 to 2020 of the top five countries in terms of planting rates (1) measured in hectares is also displayed, alongside potential outputs if all plantings had included EMF. The number of people supported is based on a daily calorie need of 2,250 per person and an annual calorific output per hectare of 316,206.72. All figures are millions.

By the age of four months, the retinas of mice carrying a mutation in the gene encoding PDE6? (left) are thin and lack rod photoreceptors (red). But mice who have had this mutation corrected through the PESpRY system (right) have much thicker retinas containing numerous rod cells. CREDIT © 2023 Qin et al.
