Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 1013-1031, April 2026.Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...

A Rare Case of Amatoxin Poisoning in the State of Texas [PDF]
Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2012 Ingestion of mushrooms from the genus Amanita can present detrimental consequences to the human body. The mushroom is frequently found in the coastal Pacific Northwest, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio. Amanitin, one of the two distinct toxins isolated from the Amanita mushroom, is responsible for the majority of symptoms and signs seen with mushroom

Mushroom Toxins - The Meixner Test [PDF]
, 2013 Mushrooms can be found extensively in a variety of natural environments and visual identification of mushroom species is well established. However, from a scientific point of view there are still key areas of mushroom research that warrant investigation.

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 13, March 22, 2024.Metal‐free, and high‐yielding sulfur‐imination using O‐(diphenylphosphinyl)hydroxyl amine to access sulfilimine salts and free‐NH sulfoximines has been reported. Its generality was evidenced using a broad substrate scope along with late‐stage functionalization of complex, biologically relevant substrates including a notorious amatoxin.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT α‐amanitin (α‐AMA), the primary lethal toxin of amanita, primarily targets the liver with a high toxicity and a low lethal dose. As the precise mechanism of intoxication is unclear, and specific antidotes are lacking, α‐AMA‐induced liver injury has a high mortality rate.

A Critical Overview of Common Foodborne Toxicants and Methods for Their Reliable Detection
Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 1658-1700, July 2025.ABSTRACT Food is an essential commodity for human health. However, toxicants such as mycotoxins, heavy metals, acrylamide, and pesticides can be present in food either naturally or through processing, packaging, or some anthropogenic activities. A thorough review of carefully selected studies revealed that climate change and pandemics have led to an ...

Mechanisms and aetiology‐dependent treatment of acute liver failure
Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract This review compiles the mechanisms of acute liver failure (ALF) as well as the current and potential therapeutic approaches, including aetiology‐specific treatment, and the issues encountered with such approaches. On a cellular level, ALF is characterized by massive hepatocyte death due to different types of cellular demise.
