Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.

Organic and conventional agricultural management trigger differential arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal responses to water limitation and elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agriculture faces significant challenges under climate change, including rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations and increasingly frequent water limitation, which threaten food security and ecosystem health. Our study included collaborations with local farmers and highlights how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, key plant symbionts, respond differently ...

Global threat of Fusarium head blight to wheat production: Projecting host‐pathogen overlap under climate change

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wheat is one of the world's most important staple crops, but its production is increasingly threatened by Fusarium head blight, a disease that reduces yield and grain quality. We mapped where wheat and its major disease‐causing fungi are likely to overlap now and under future climate change.

Regulation of Clostridium difficile spore germination by the CspA pseudoprotease domain

Biochimie, 2015
Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming obligate anaerobe that is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections. C. difficile infections begin when its metabolically dormant spores germinate in the gut of susceptible individuals.
