Plant Metabolites Affect Metabolism and In Vitro Fumonisin Biosynthesis.

is a common hemi-biotrophic pathogen that infect a wide range of host plants, often leading to substantial crop loss and yield reduction. synthesizes various mycotoxins, and fumonisins B are the most prevalent. They act as virulence factors and specific effectors that elicit host resistance.

Metabolomic Aspects of Conservative and Resistance-Related Elements of Response to in the Grass Family.

Background: head blight (FHB) is a serious fungal disease affecting crop plants, causing substantial yield reductions and the production of mycotoxins in the infected grains. Achieving progress in the breeding of crops with increased resistance and maintaining a high yield is not possible without a thorough examination of the molecular basis of plant immunity responses.

Methods: LC-MS-based metabolomics approaches powered by three-way ANOVA and the selec-tion of differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were used for studying plant immunity.

Geographical Origin Does Not Modulate Pathogenicity or Response to Climatic Variables of Associated with Vascular Wilt on Asparagus.

Asparagus crop is distributed worldwide, covering very different climatic regions. Among the different diseases that affect asparagus, vascular wilt, caused by f. sp.

The Impacts of Asparagus Extract Fractions on Growth and Fumonisins Biosynthesis in Fusarium Proliferatum.

Asparagus is a genus consisting of over two hundred species of perennial plants. is a major asparagus pathogen and it biosynthesizes a variety of mycotoxins, of which fumonisins B are prevalent. Our previous studies on strains indicated that asparagus extract affects the expression of gene, encoding polyketide synthase, a key enzyme of the gene cluster governing the biosynthesis of fumonisins.

-Produced Mycotoxins in Plant-Pathogen Interactions.

Pathogens belonging to the genus are causal agents of the most significant crop diseases worldwide. Virtually all species synthesize toxic secondary metabolites, known as mycotoxins; however, the roles of mycotoxins are not yet fully understood. To understand how a fungal partner alters its lifestyle to assimilate with the plant host remains a challenge.

Effect of nitrogen fertilization on the production of biogas from sweet sorghum and maize biomass.

The aim of the study was to determine the biogas productivity from selected cultivars of sorghum ( Moench) and maize ( L.) depending on the dose of mineral fertilization with nitrogen. The topic is novelty in the northern Poland area due to the fact that this crop is not very widespread here.

Flammulina velutipes treatment of non-sterile tall wheat grass for enhancing biodegradability and methane production.

In this study fungal pretreatment of non-sterile tall wheat grass via the white rot fungi Flammulina velutipes was studied and the effect on biodegradability of lignocellulosic biomass and methane production, was evaluated. Degradation of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and dry matter in non-sterile tall wheat grass during 28 days of fungal pretreatment using different inoculum ratio (0%-50%) and moisture content (MC) (45% MC, 65% MC, and 75% MC) were assessed via comparison to untreated biomass. Pretreatment with F.
