Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1097-1108, June 2026.We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT 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.

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices
Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S31-S46, May 2026.Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.
