Article Abstract

species complex (FGSC) causes Fusarium head blight in small grain cereals. To date, four species (, , , and ) belonging to FGSC frequently occur in Korean cereals. In addition, we first reported the occurrence of additional species ( ) within FGSC, which was isolated from barley, corn, and rice in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis of the isolates of this group using combined multi-gene sequences confirmed species identification. Moreover, the macroconidia produced by these isolates were morphologically similar to those of the holotype. Chemical analysis indicated that the isolates produced various trichothecenes such as nivalenol and deoxynivalenol with their acetyl derivatives along with zearalenone. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that all of the isolates examined were pathogenic on barley, corn, and rice with variation in aggressiveness. This study is the first report of in Korean cereals, their pathogenicity towards barley and corn, and their ability to produce trichothecenes and zearalenone.

Flavonoids are a large group of secondary metabolites, which are responsible for pigmentation, signaling, protection from unfavorable environmental conditions, and other important functions, as well as providing numerous benefits for human health. Various stages of flavonoid biosynthesis are subject to complex regulation by three groups of transcription regulators-MYC-like bHLH, R2R3-MYB and WDR which form the MBW regulatory complex. We attempt to cover the main aspects of this intriguing regulatory system in plants, as well as to summarize information on their distinctive features in cereals.

Background: Starch is the most abundant carbohydrate in maize grains, serving as a primary energy source for both humans and animals, and playing a crucial role in various industrial applications. Increasing the starch content of maize grains is beneficial for improving the grain yield and quality. To gain insight into the genetic basis of starch content in maize kernels, a multiparent population (MPP) was constructed and evaluated for starch content in three different environments.

Effect of by-products-based diet and intramuscular fat content on volatile compounds from pork.

Meat Sci

January 2025

Ghent University, Laboratory for Animal Nutrition and Animal Product Quality, Department of Animal Sciences and Aquatic Ecology, Ghent, Belgium. Electronic address:

This study evaluated the effects of a fibre- and fat-rich by-products-based diet and the intramuscular fat (IMF) content on volatile compounds in pork. Meat samples were collected from sixteen gilts included in a feeding trial. Half of the animals were fed a conventional diet based on wheat, maize, barley and soybean meal, whereas the other half were fed a by-products-based diet that contained corn germ meal, malt sprouts, crispbread meal and proticorn, but no cereals or soya.

Ghrelin (GhRL) is an orexigenic hormone influenced by nutritional state. It plays a role in skin repair and diseases, though little information exists regarding its function in this organ. GhRL and its receptor were investigated in the skin of sheep under different feeding conditions to explore GhRL system presence and possible modifications due to diet.
