Keeping toxigenic Aspergillus section Flavi and aflatoxin contamination at bay by deploying atoxigenic-based biocontrol products during production of groundnut and maize in Mozambique

Frontiers in Microbiology
Aflatoxins, produced by aflatoxigenic Aspergillus section Flavi fungi, commonly occur in groundnut and maize grown in Mozambique and have long been associated with high prevalence of liver cancer, stunting, and restricted access to lucrative ...

Exploring Gelatin‐A and Mouse Proline‐Rich Protein 5 as Probes for Wine Polyphenol Analysis by Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel strategy for the detection of polyphenols in wine. By combining Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring and original functionalization strategies, Gelatin A from porcine skin and Mouse Proline‐Rich Protein 5, polyphenols are successfully detected directly in wine without any prior sample preparation ...

Natural Allelic Variations in IbCHYR1–IbZnFR Complex Regulate Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Sweet Potato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.

Fusarium proliferatum and fumonisin B1 co-occur with Fusarium species causing Fusarium Head Blight in durum wheat in Italy

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2015
Fusarium Head Blight caused by phytopathogenic Fusarium spp. with Fusarium graminearum as main causal agent is a major disease of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). Mycotoxins in wheat are dominated by trichothecenes B. Fumonisins have only occasionally

Discovery to Engineering of Mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol Degrading Enzymes Based on the Specialized Glyoxalase I

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Deoxynivalenol (DON), a prevalent food mycotoxin, is an important risk factor in global food safety. A molecular phylogeny‐guided engineering approach is devised to repurpose specialized glyoxalase I (SPG) as a DON deactivator. Engineered SPG variants demonstrate superior stability and are highly capable of converting DON into less toxic products ...

Assessing Haitian Consumers' Willingness to Pay a Premium for Aflatoxin‐Compliant Peanut Butter in the Informal Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Market‐based solutions are increasingly tested to address aflatoxin issues in peanuts in developing countries. Although previous studies have found that Haitian grocery store shoppers are willing to pay a 21% premium for peanut butter with levels of aflatoxin that meet international standards, no information is available for the much larger ...

Twinkle Light‐Inspired Aggregation‐Induced Emission “Lighting‐Up” Bacteriophages to Enhance Immunoassays via Spontaneous Amino‐Yne Click Reaction

Aggregate, EarlyView.
Herein, we present a twinkle‐light‐inspired “lighting‐up” bifunctional bacteriophage for fluorescence immunoassays via a spontaneous amino‐yne click reaction, and demonstrate its versatile potential for the highly sensitive detection of various targets, ranging from small molecules to pathogenic microorganisms, in complex samples.

Determination of selenium speciation in the muscle, kidney, and liver from different animals treated with different selenium supplements by HPLC‐ICP‐MS

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary selenium (Se) deficiency is recognized as a global problem, and exogenous Se supplementation can effectively enrich its levels in animal bodies. Offal tissues are equally important as meat in Se enrichment. Varying properties among Se species require information beyond total Se concentration to fully evaluate health risk/benefits.
