A review on citrinin: Its occurrence, risk implications, analytical techniques, biosynthesis, physiochemical properties and control.

Losses of harvested fruits and vegetables can be attributed to decaying fungi. These fungi are pathogenic and also a source of mycotoxins, which pose a health threat to humans and animals. As a result, national and international organizations have set detection levels for toxic secondary metabolites for harvested commodities and derived products.

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of the Interaction between and Apple Fruit ( Mill.) during Early Stages of Infection.

Blue mold, caused by , is an important postharvest disease of apple, and can result in significant economic losses. The present study investigated the interaction between and wounded apple fruit tissues during the early stages of the infection. Spores of became activated one hour post-inoculation (hpi), exhibited swelling at 3 hpi, and the germ tubes were found entering into apple tissues at 6 hpi.

Investigating proteome and transcriptome response of Cryptococcus podzolicus Y3 to citrinin and the mechanisms involved in its degradation.

Citrinin (CIT) contamination has been reported in agricultural foods and is known to be nephrotoxic to human and animals. In the present study, the proteomes and transcriptomes of C. podzolicus Y3 treated with or without 10 μg/mL CIT were compared by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and RNA sequencing, respectively.
