Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  1. Disease caused by Neofusicoccum parvum in pruning wounds of grapevine shoots and its control by Trichoderma spp. and Xenorhabdus szentirmaii

    • Fungal Biology

    • Neofusicoccum parvum, is a fungal pathogen and one of the etiological agents of dieback disease in grapevines. The fungus causes deterioration of vines due to vascular colonization and/or production of toxins. We report herein the inhibitory effects of Trichoderma spp. isolates and the antifungal effects of cell-free supernatants (CFS) from Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacteria against N.

  2. The velvet-activated putative C6 transcription factor VadZ regulates development and sterigmatocystin production in Aspergillus nidulans

    • Fungal Biology

    • The NF-ƙB-type VosA–VelB velvet complex acts as a global regulator governing development and metabolism in fungi. One of the VosA-VelB-activated developmental (VAD) genes called vadZ is predicted to encode a 557-amino acid protein containing a highly conserved GAL4-type Zn(II)2Cys6 (or C6 zinc) binuclear cluster DNA-binding domain in Aspergillus nidulans.
