A quantitative PCR (qPCR)-assay was developed to detect airborne inoculum of , causal agent of late leaf spot (LLS) on peanut, collected with a modified impaction spore trap. The qPCR assay was able to consistently detect as few as 10 spores with purified DNA and 25 spores based on crude DNA extraction from rods. In 2019, two spore traps were placed in two peanut fields with a history of LLS. Sampling units were replaced every 2 to 4 days and tested with the developed qPCR assay, while plots were monitored for symptom development. The system detected inoculum 35 to 56 days before visual symptoms developed in the field, with detection related to environmental parameters affecting pathogen life-cycle and disease development. This study develops the framework of the qPCR spore trap system and represents the initial steps towards validation of the performance of the system for use as a decision support tool to complement integrated management of LLS.

We developed a novel surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) method to detect fungal spores, which is a critical concern in food safety. A combination of Fe and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was initially confirmed as an effective light absorber, facilitating the desorption and ionization of small organics in SALDI-MS. This approach was then successfully applied to the analysis of small organics derived from Aspergillus niger, aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus, and non-aflatoxigenic A.

A novel, yet simple, airborne microplastic (MP) sampling approach using global pollen monitoring equipment was applied to identify, characterise and quantify outdoor airborne MPs for the first time. Modification of Burkard spore trap tape adhesive provided particle capture and facilitated downstream spectroscopy analysis. 36 polymer types were identified from a total of 21 days sampling using Burkard spore traps at two locations (United Kingdom and South Africa).

Light is a key environmental factor affecting conidiation in filamentous fungi. The cryptochrome/photolyase CryA, a blue-light receptor, is involved in fungal development. In the present study, a homologous CryA (AoCryA) was identified from the widely occurring nematode-trapping (NT) fungus , and its roles in the mycelial growth and development of were characterized using gene knockout, phenotypic comparison, staining technique, and metabolome analysis.
