Interactive Effects of Elevated [CO2] and Drought on the Maize Phytochemical Defense Response against Mycotoxigenic Fusarium verticillioides. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Changes in climate due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) are predicted to intensify episodes of drought, but our understanding of how these combined conditions will influence crop-pathogen interactions is limited.

Near‐Infrared Fluorescent Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biosensing
Small, EarlyView.Near‐infrared fluorescent single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) stand out as versatile biosensors due to their spectral overlap with the biological transparency window, surface‐sensitive fluorescence emission, and chemical modularity. This review offers a concise guide to understanding the photophysics of SWCNTs, various functionalization strategies,

Environmental factors modify carbon nutritional patterns and niche overlap between Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides strains from maize. [PDF]
, 2009 This study examined the utilization patterns of key carbon sources (CS, 24: including key sugars, amino acids and fatty acids) in maize by strains of Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides under different water activity (aw, 0.87–0.98 aw) and ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mycotoxins, originating from contaminated raw materials or suboptimal feed storage, are a growing concern in tropical aquaculture. Common fungi such as Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. produce mycotoxins including aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone. High doses or prolonged exposure (weeks) to low doses of these mycotoxins (<

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2014 Fusarium verticillioides infects maize ears, causing ear rot disease and contamination of grain with fumonisin mycotoxins. This contamination can be reduced by the presence of bioactive compounds in kernels that are able to inhibit fumonisin biosynthesis.

Extracellular ATP: an emerging multifaceted regulator of plant fitness
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1771-1782, May 2025.Summary Adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of living organisms and the primary form of organic phosphate (Po) involved in cellular metabolism. In plants, some ATP is released into the extracellular matrix (ECM) in response to various stimuli, where it functions as extracellular ATP (eATP), a key signalling molecule.
