Development and application of a novel suspension concentrate for seed coating of rice for controlling bakanae disease and seedling rot disease.

The main rice planting areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are primarily affected by two types of rice seedling diseases: bakanae disease and seedling rot disease. These diseases lead to considerable losses. Seed coating technology effectively protects rice from these diseases and mitigates environmental pollution.

Sensitive, simultaneous and quantitative detection of deoxynivalenol and fumonisin B in the water environment using lateral flow immunoassay integrated with smartphone.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) and fumonisin B (FB), as a group of highly toxic secondary metabolites, have become a potential source of water environmental pollutants. To minimize two mycotoxins exposure to consumers, a dual lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) integrated with the smartphone was reported for simultaneous and quantitative detection of DON and FB in the water environment. The significantly improved sensitivity was contributed to a smartphone-based device with the ability to image and analyze results.
