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.

  4. Genetic Differentiation Associated with Fumonisin and Gibberellin Production in Japanese Fusarium fujikuroi [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Fusarium fujikuroi is a pathogenic fungus that infects rice. It produces several important mycotoxins, such as fumonisins. Fumonisin production has been detected in strains of maize, strawberry, and wheat, whereas it has not been detected in strains from rice seedlings infested with bakanae disease in Japan. We investigated the genetic relationships, pathogenicity, and resistance to a fungicide, thiophanate-methyl (TM), in 51 fumonisin-producing strains and 44 nonproducing strains.

  25. [ASAP] Patulin Induces Autophagy-Dependent Apoptosis through Lysosomal-Mitochondrial Axis and Impaired Mitophagy in HepG2 Cells

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Patulin (PAT) is a compound produced by fungi including those of the Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Byssochlamys species. PAT has been linked with negative outcomes in certain microorganisms and animal species, but how it causes hepatotoxicity is poorly understood.
