Mycotoxins‐contaminated wheat matrices bioconversion by Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

The mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica protects barley roots from a loss of antioxidant capacity caused by the necrotrophic pathogen Fusarium culmorum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Fusarium culmorum causes root rot in barley (Hordeum vulgare), resulting in severely reduced plant growth and yield. Pretreatment of roots with chlamydospores of the mutualistic root-colonizing basidiomycete Piriformospora indica (Agaricomycotina ...

Geographical Distribution of Fusarium Species Involved in Fusarium Head Blight and Fusarium Crown Rot of Wheat in Tunisia and Their Mycotoxin Accumulation

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 1290-1301, June 2025.
This study highlights a great diversity of Fusarium species on durum wheat in Tunisia, higher in crowns than in kernels, with F. culmorum as the dominant species and five species detected for the first time. ABSTRACT Fusarium crown rot (FCR) and Fusarium head blight (FHB) are among the most destructive diseases of wheat worldwide.

Losses in Agricultural Produce: Causes and Effects on Food Security

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Losses in agricultural produce have significant social, economic, and environmental implications. Despite efforts to increase yields, inadequate pre‐and post‐harvest practices often lead to losses and threaten food security. These losses also waste crucial resources like water, soil, and energy utilized in crop production.

The food contaminant deoxynivalenol, decreases intestinal barrier permeability and reduces claudin expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The gastrointestinal tract represents the first barrier against food contaminants as well as the first target for these toxicants. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that commonly contaminates cereals and causes various toxicological effects.

Comparative Analysis of Deoxynivalenol Biosynthesis Related Gene Expression among Different Chemotypes of Fusarium graminearum in Spring Wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fusarium mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV) act as virulence factors and are essential for symptom development after initial infection in wheat. To date, 16 genes have been identified in the deoxynivalenol biosynthesis pathway. However,
