Wheat, barley and oat grain samples naturally contaminated with Fusarium spp. were analysed for the presence of scirpentriol (STO). This toxin was detected in 1, 37 and 8% of 248 wheat, 32 barley and 99 oat grain samples, respectively, and the maximum concentration was 83 microg x kg(-1). Samples of wheat and oat grain with visible scab symptoms were also analysed, and STO (mean level 255 microg x kg(-1)) was detected only in oat samples infected with F. sporotrichioides and F. poae as the dominant species. We analysed 15 barley samples that were subdivided based on seed size into fractions of <2.5 and > 2.5 mm in diameter. The smaller kernels contained an average 94% of the STO in the samples (in kernel fraction > 2.5 mm 28 microg x kg(-1), <2.5 mm 297 microg x kg(-1)). In oats, STO levels were highest in the chaff, lower in the stalk's apical internode and lowest in the grain.

As an important cereal and feed crop, oat has significant economic value and is widely cultivated throughout the world. However, leaf diseases have become a crucial factor limiting the increase in oat grain yield and the optimization of its nutritional quality. Among these, the bacterial leaf blight disease (LBD) caused by has been an emerging and prevalent oat disease in Northwest China in recent years and has become a major challenge for oat cultivation in this region.

Fusarium head blight, caused by , continues to be one of the most important and devastating fungal diseases on cereal grains including wheat, barley, and oat crops. produces toxic secondary metabolites that include trichothecene type A and type B mycotoxins. There are many variants of these toxins that are produced, and in the early 2010s, a novel type A trichothecene mycotoxin known as 3ANX (7-α hydroxy,15-deacetylcalonectrin) and its deacetylated product NX (7-α hydroxy, 3,15-dideacetylcalonectrin) were identified in Minnesota, USA.

The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effects of oat β-glucan (OβG) on yeast subjected to freeze-thaw cycle-induced stress. A range of analytical techniques were employed to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms, including flow cytometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and quantitative real-time PCR. Following three freeze-thaw cycles, the survival rate of yeast that had been supplemented with 0.

Sweet potato-oat composite dough is a nutritious, functional dough with promising market potential. This study investigates its quality changes during freeze-thaw cycles from the perspectives of ice crystals and protein alterations to provide theoretical support for its processing and production. After freeze-thaw cycles, both the storage modulus and loss modulus of the dough decrease, resulting in increased hardness, reduced resilience and chewiness, lower sensory scores, decreased specific volume, and darker color.

Background: The bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi, is a major pest of agriculture due to its ability to directly damage crops and transmit plant viruses. As industries move away from chemical pest control, there is interest in exploring new options to suppress the impact of this pest.
Results: We describe the production of a transinfected line of R.
