Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Next‐Generation Biosensors for Real‐Time Quality Monitoring in the Food Industry

Food Bioengineering, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 564-588, December 2025.
This graphical abstract highlights the use of biosensors for real‐time monitoring of food quality and safety across grains, dairy, meat, seafood, fruits, beverages, bakery, and packaging. Central to this is signal processing, enabling rapid, accurate detection of contaminants, spoilage, and adulterants from farm to fork.

Comparison of PhenoCams and drones for lean phenotyping of phenology and senescence of wheat genotypes in variety testing

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract In variety testing and breeding of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), it is crucial to know the timing of phenological stages and the senescence behavior of genotypes to select for locally adapted varieties. Sound knowledge of the timing of phenological stages also allows for a more meaningful interpretation of measurements such as yield, quality ...

Development of Optimized Bioactive Nanocomposite Films Using a Central Composite Design for Control of Microbial Contamination in Stored Rice

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) and polylactic acid (PLA)‐based nanocomposite films were developed as active packaging materials for stored rice. The composition and synergistic effect of the active formulations (AF‐1 and AF‐2), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and glycerol (Gly) as independent variables were tested to reach the ...

Natural Occurrence of Nivalenol, Deoxynivalenol, and Deoxynivalenol-3-Glucoside in Polish Winter Wheat

Toxins, 2018
The presence of mycotoxins in cereal grain is a very important food safety factor. The occurrence of “masked” mycotoxins has been intensively investigated in recent years.

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, Page 781-889, December 2025.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.

The Metabolic Fate of Deoxynivalenol and Its Acetylated Derivatives in a Wheat Suspension Culture: Identification and Detection of DON-15-O-Glucoside, 15-Acetyl-DON-3-O-Glucoside and 15-Acetyl-DON-3-Sulfate

Toxins, 2015
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a protein synthesis inhibitor produced by the Fusarium species, which frequently contaminates grains used for human or animal consumption.

Prevalence and Diversity of Fusarium Species in Oat Grains Harvested From Commercial Oat Fields in Ireland in 2022

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2818-2829, December 2025.
From 4140 isolates in 44 Irish oat fields, morphology, rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and TEF1‐α identified 8 Fusarium species. F. langsethiae predominated; F. tricinctum and F. poae were common, supporting surveillance. ABSTRACT This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of Fusarium species infecting Irish winter and spring oat ...

Breeding for quantitative disease resistance: Case studies, emerging approaches, and exploiting pathogen variation

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Host resistance, using qualitative genes with major effects, such as resistance (R) genes, is one of the most effective disease control strategies. However, because major gene‐derived resistance wanes over time, breeders must increasingly focus on quantitative trait loci and minor effect genes, which, when pyramided together, can confer ...
