  18. Direct Detection of Foodborne Pathogens via a Proximal DNA Probe-Based CRISPR-Cas12 Assay

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Foodborne pathogens can cause illnesses. Existing tools for detecting foodborne pathogens are typically time-consuming or require complex protocols. Here, we report an assay to directly analyze pathogenic genes based on CRISPR-Cas12. This new test, termed proximal DNA probe-based CRISPR-Cas12 (PPCas12), facilitates the detection of foodborne pathogens without amplification steps.

  19. Multilaboratory Collaborative Study of a Nontarget Data Acquisition for Target Analysis (nDATA) Workflow Using Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry for Pesticide Screening in Fruits and Vegetables

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Nontarget data acquisition for target analysis (nDATA) workflows using liquid chromatography-high-resolution accurate mass (LC-HRAM) spectrometry, spectral screening software, and a compound database have generated interest because of their potential for screening of pesticides in foods. However, these procedures and particularly the instrument processing software need to be thoroughly evaluated before implementation in routine analysis.

  20. Ex Vivo Plasmodium malariae Culture Method for Antimalarial Drugs Screen in the Field

    • ACS Infectious Diseases

    • In vitro and ex vivo cultivation of Plasmodium (P) falciparum has facilitated active research into the malaria parasite toward the quest for basic knowledge and the discovery of effective drug treatments. Such a drug discovery program is currently difficult for P. malariae simply because of the absence of in vitro and ex vivo cultivation system for its asexual blood stages supporting antimalarial evaluation. Despite availability of artemisinin combination therapies effective on P.

  22. Updated Review of the Toxicity of Selected Fusarium Toxins and their Modified Forms

    • Toxins

    • Mycotoxins are one of the most dangerous food and feed contaminants, hence they have significant influence on human and animal health. This study reviews the information reported over the last few years on the toxic effects of the most relevant and studied Fusarium toxins and their modified forms. Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its metabolites can induce intracellular oxidative stress, resulting in DNA damage.

    • Toxins

    • Mycotoxins are toxic substances naturally produced by various fungi, and these compounds not only inflict economic damage, but also pose risks to human and animal health.

  24. Microcystin-Induced Immunotoxicity in Fishes: A Scoping Review

    • Toxins

    • Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) have been present on Earth for over 2 billion years, and can produce a variety of bioactive molecules, such as cyanotoxins. Microcystins (MCs), the most frequently detected cyanotoxins, pose a threat to the aquatic environment and to human health. The classic toxic mechanism of MCs is the inhibition of the protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1 and PP2A).

  25. Reproductive Stage Drought Tolerance in Wheat: Importance of Stomatal Conductance and Plant Growth Regulators

    • Genes

    • Drought stress requires plants to adjust their water balance to maintain tissue water levels. Isohydric plants (‘water-savers’) typically achieve this through stomatal closure, while anisohydric plants (‘water-wasters’) use osmotic adjustment and maintain stomatal conductance. Isohydry or anisohydry allows plant species to adapt to different environments. In this paper we show that both mechanisms occur in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
