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. NX Trichothecenes Are Required for Fusarium graminearum Infection of Wheat

    • Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

    • Fusarium graminearum causes Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat and barley and contaminates grains with various mycotoxins that are toxic to humans and animals. Deoxynivalenol (DON), a type B trichothecene, is an essential virulence factor that is required for F. graminearum to spread within a wheat head. Recently, novel type A trichothecenes NX-2 and NX-3 (NX) have been found in F. graminearum.

  2. Complete Genome Sequence Resource of Bacillus cereus Gsicc 30237, Isolated from Cabbage Planting Soil

    • Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

    • Bacillus cereus GSICC 30237 (BC37), preserved in the Gansu Branch of the China Industrial Microorganism Collection and Management Center (GSICC), was originally isolated from Brassica oleracea L. planting soil at Yuzhong County, Gansu Province, China.

  3. Complete Genome Sequence of Vibrio maritimus BH16, a Siderophore-Producing Mutualistic Bacterium Isolated from Diatom Skeletonema costatum

    • Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

    • The issue of iron limitation in the ocean continues to attract more and more attention. The high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll environment was supposed to be caused by iron availability (Martin and Fitzwater 1988; Martin et al. 1994).

  4. High-Quality Complete Genome Resource of Pectobacterium parvum Isolate FN20211 Causing Aerial Stem Rot of Potato

    • Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

    • Pectobacterium parvum is an emerging bacterial pathogen that causes aerial stem rot in potato plants. To date, genomes of a few P. parvum isolates have been sequenced and characterized, but the assemblies still remain highly fragmented. Here, we present the first complete, high-quality genome of P. parvum FN20211, which was isolated from a potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plant showing symptoms of aerial stem rot.
