Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Reaction of maize hybrids to ear rot caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe
Ear rot caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe (teleomorph stage: Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch) is a destructive disease of maize. In our experiment we tested twenty maize hybrids.

ABSTRACT Fusarium verticillioides is a common fungal pathogen of maize that causes significant losses in seed quality and seedling performance. Despite the high prevalence of this fungus in Ghanaian maize varieties, there is relatively little knowledge of the impact of F. verticillioides on seedling performance of Ghanaian maize varieties.

Use of rootstock cane tip sections, and removal of rootstock mother vines heavily infected by Petri and esca disease‐related pathogens, could lead to the production of healthier grapevine propagation material. ABSTRACT The widespread emergence of Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Phaeoacremonium minimum in grapevine nurseries over the past two decades ...

Advanced backcross selection for resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination in maize
Abstract Ear rots and mycotoxin contamination of grain in maize (Zea mays L.) pose a threat to food production and safety, best ameliorated by breeding for resistance. In this study, we introgressed alleles conferring resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination from GE440, a highly resistant inbred with poor agronomic performance, into ...

Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a major wheat disease that causes significant yield and quality loss. The use of resistant cultivars is an effective tool for managing FHB; however, FHB resistance is a complex trait.

Acute respiratory distress caused by Neosartorya udagawae
We describe the first reported case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) attributed to Neosartorya udagawae infection. This mold grew rapidly in cultures of multiple respiratory specimens from a previously healthy 43-year-old woman.

Genetic mapping of Ascochyta blight resistance in an ILL6002 × Indianhead lentil mapping population
Abstract Ascochyta blight of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a fungal disease caused by Ascochyta lentis. This study was carried out to identify the location of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance from the accession Indianhead, and how these vary between the recently identified pathotypes of A. lentis.
