Monitoring and Managing of Ergot Alkaloids in Cereal Grains: A Comprehensive Analysis of Analytical Challenges, Sampling Uncertainty, and Processing for Food Safety. [PDF]
Compr Rev Food Sci Food SafABSTRACT Ergot alkaloids (EAs), toxic secondary metabolites produced by Claviceps purpurea, pose food and feed safety concerns for cereal grains, particularly rye and wheat. While EAs are most frequently associated with rye, their occurrence in other cereals has been increasingly reported across diverse regions.

AlphaFold modeling uncovers global structural features of class I and class II fungal hydrophobins. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Hydrophobins are a family of small fungal proteins that self‐assemble at hydrophobic–hydrophilic interfaces. Hydrophobins not only play crucial roles in filamentous fungal growth and development but also have attracted substantial attention due to their unique material properties.

Establishment and micropropagation of axenic in vitro cultures of salt marsh grasses within the genus <i>Sporobolus</i>. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Salt marshes in the North Atlantic United States are dominated by grasses from the genus Sporobolus, which are perennial C4 plants known for tolerating saline, anoxic, and flooded coastal sediments. Establishing in vitro cultures of Sporobolus species remains a major challenge due to frequent seed contamination from ergot and ...

Benzochromanone and Benzochromene Natural Products: Synthetic Strategies and Total Syntheses. [PDF]
Chem RecThis work outlines synthetic strategies for natural products with benzochromanone and benzochromene cores. Key achievements include total syntheses of xanthones, blennolide C, gonytolide C, and teretifolione B. Spirochromanone intermediates, benzyne–furan Diels–Alder reactions, and enzymatic resolution enabled efficient and enantioselective access to ...
