Amino acid vectorization of salicylic acid enables efficient activation of NPR1‐dependent defense without phytotoxicity

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Amino acid‐vectorized salicylic acid activates PR1/NPR1‐dependent defenses without phytotoxicity, showing an efficient strategy for controlled delivery and enhanced plant immunity. Abstract BACKGROUND Addressing global food security under rapid population growth and climate change requires sustainable strategies to protect crops from pathogens while ...

Pangenome dynamics and population structure of the zoonotic pathogen Salmonella enterica serotype Hadar

open access: yesNature Communications
The bacterial accessory genome, comprised of plasmids, phages, and other mobile elements, underpins the adaptability of bacterial populations. Pangenome (core and accessory) analysis of pathogens can reveal epidemiological relatedness missed by using ...

Food safety risks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Foodborne diseases are responsible for 420,000 deaths each year, one-third of them in Africa. Food safety issues are usually attributed to traditional food systems, but the development of modern food systems in low-income (LI) and lower middle-income ...

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Foodborne diseases.

open access: yesSingapore medical journal, 1997
Foodborne diseases continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality both in developing and developed countries. Its spectrum has vastly expanded in recent years with the recognition of new foodborne pathogens and clinical syndromes. The increase in international travel and demand for exotic and raw food underscore the importance of traveller's ...
