Scientist pleaded guilty to smuggling #Fusarium #graminearum into #US. But what is it?
It causes a disease in #barley and #wheat called Fusarium head blight, or scab. It can also damage #rice and rot #corn ears and stalks. In severe cases, scab could cut a farm’s yield by 45%!
Its responsible for some of greatest annual crop losses in US. In 2024 extension & research plant pathologists suggested scab reduced US wheat crop by approximately 31 million bushels or roughly 2%.

Early warning system being developed by universities may slow the plant pathogen.

Let's play "Supervillain or #antifungal lipopeptides?"
Yuan et al. will go first...
...with a new study, showing that iturin and fengycin lipopeptides inhibit #pathogenic #Fusarium in #wheat, targeting components of the #cell membrane and more!

The FBI has arrested two Chinese #scientists, accused of introducing #fusarium, a fungus harmful to crops, into the country. (1/2)
Dass die #fusarium|#toxine für die #gesundheit von Mensch und Tier schädlich sind, ist schon länger bekannt. Inzwischen sehen Experten die bestehenden Grenzwerte bzw. verbreitete Kontamination von #weizen kritisch, weil der langjährige Verzehr von belastetem Getreide zu größeren gesundheitlichen Problemen führen kann.
Eine Studie fand 2022 heraus, dass über die Hälfte des Weizens für menschliche Nahrung belastet war, im #tierfutter war die Belastung noch höher.

Europa: Hälfte des Weizens ist mit Pilzgift kontaminiert

Versteckte Kontamination: Fast die Hälfte des in Europa geernteten Weizens ist vom Fusarium-Pilz befallen und enthält daher Spuren giftiger Mycotoxine,

Chinesische Biologen sollen Fusarium-Erreger in die USA geschmuggelt haben

Der US-amerikanischer Bundesanwalt hat Anklage gegen zwei Chinesen erhoben. Der unglaubliche Vorwurf: Agrar-Terrorismus.

The U.S. Attorney's office *maybe* went over the top in claiming to know the motivations. It could also be as simple as overly enthusiastic nerdage and not wanting to have to leave their labs to do research.

But yeah, this was stupid. At the very least the researcher at UofM should be fired.

🚨 First Look! My latest peer-reviewed co-authorship is now online in Phytopathology Journal 🧬🌾

📰 Fusarium avenaceum isolates from pea, wheat, & lentil were tested on these three host crops. Pea-derived isolates were the most "aggressive," which motivated our conclusion that inclusion of pea in a crop rotation can increase the incidence & severity of head blight in wheat.
