The 2021 European Union report on pesticide residues in food

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Under European Union legislation (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), EFSA is to provide an annual report assessing the pesticide residue levels in foods on the European market. In 2021, 96.1% of the overall 87,863 samples analysed fell below the maximum residue level (MRL), 3.9% exceeded this level, of which 2.5% were non‐compliant, i.e.

Microbial antibiotics take the lead in the fight against plant pathogens

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 28-33, January 2023., 2023
The potential of plant microbiome for the development of novel biopesticides for the integrated pest management of agricultural crops. Abstract The plant microbiome is essential for plant fitness and health. Antibiotics produced by plant‐associated bacteria have been shown to play an important role in protecting plant hosts against phytopathogens. Here,

Granulovirus PK-1 kinase activity relies on a side-to-side dimerization mode centered on the regulatory αC helix

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The viral Protein Kinase-1 (PK-1) phosphorylates the regulatory protein p6.9, which facilitates baculoviral genome release. Here, the authors combine X-ray crystallography with biophysical and biochemical analyses as well as molecular dynamics ...
