Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis to elucidate the antifungal and antimycotoxin mechanisms of natural stilbenoids against Fusarium graminearum.

Grape Waste Compounds Show Strong Antifungal and Antimycotoxin Activity Against Fusarium in Wheat

A new study reveals how natural stilbenoids from grapevine waste inhibit Fusarium graminearum, the wheat fungus responsible for mycotoxin contamination. Using integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis, scientists uncover how E-vitisin B disrupts fungal metabolism and offers an eco-friendly alternative to agrochemicals.
Fusarium commune: A novel fungal endophyte against fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum.

Scientists Discover Fusarium commune: A New Wheat-Protecting Endophyte Against Fusarium Head Blight

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have identified Fusarium commune strain G3-29, a novel fungal endophyte that protects wheat from Fusarium graminearum, the pathogen behind Fusarium head blight (FHB). This eco-friendly biocontrol approach significantly reduces disease severity and enhances plant growth.
