Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Scientific Opinion on Ergot alkaloids in food and feed [PDF]

open access: yesEFSA Journal, 2012
<p>The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked by the European Commission to deliver a scientific opinion on ergot alkaloids (EAs) in food and feed. EAs are produced by several members within the fungal orders of Hypocreales and Eurotiales.

Ergot Alkaloids on Cereals and Seeds: Analytical Methods, Occurrence, and Future Perspectives

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Ergot alkaloids are secondary metabolites resulting from fungi of the genus Claviceps that have proven to be highly toxic. These mycotoxins commonly infect cereal crops such as wheat, rye, barley, and oats.

DNA Aptamers Targeting BcSOD1: A Novel Strategy for Controlling Botrytis cinerea in Sustainable Agriculture

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5778-5796, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, the necrotrophic fungus responsible for grey mould disease, is a major threat to global crop production. Control strategies mainly rely on chemical fungicides, but resistance development limits their long‐term effectiveness. This study introduces, for the first time in crop protection, the use of DNA aptamers as a novel and ...

Components of seed production and ergot resistance used as criteria for selection of Brachiaria hybrids

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2022
Ergot is a fungal disease and causes reductions in seed productivity and quality. We aimed to identify promising genotypes of brachiaria evaluating: (1) seed production potential (number of tillers, racemes per inflorescence, spikelets per raceme ...

MoMtg1 Acts as a Novel Transcriptional Repressor of MoSwi6 During Appressorium‐Mediated Penetration in the Rice Blast Fungus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 43, November 20, 2025.
Appressoria are specialized penetration structures for many plant pathogenic fungi, demanding precise cell cycle control. This study unveils MoMtg1 as a transcriptional repressor of MoSwi6, orchestrating MoCYC1 expression during turgor‐driven cell cycle progression to enable appressorium‐mediated penetration. Moreover, a small‐molecule inhibitor ZS1619

Impact of Soil Chemical Attributes on the Behavior and Spread of Fusarium Oxysporum in Date Palm

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
Mechanisms by which soil elements affect disease expression. ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis, continues to threaten oases across the Maghreb. However, the disease has failed to establish in Southeastern Algeria, despite the ongoing movement of potentially contaminated plant ...

Ergot development on low-pentosan diploid winter rye

open access: yesЗерновое хозяйство России, 2021
Ergot (Claviceps purpurea (Fr) Tul.) is a widespread rye disease. A strong development of the disease can reduce up to 60% of grain productivity and its quality. In the rye gene pool, there was found no samples with complete resis[1]tance to Cl. purpurea.
