Mycotoxins are harmful secondary metabolites produced by a range of widespread fungi
belonging in the main to Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium genera. But why should fungi …

Plant roots release complex mixtures of bioactive molecules, including compounds that
affect the activity and modify the composition of the rhizosphere microbiome. In this work, we …

Oxylipins are a newly emerging group of signals that serve defence roles or promote
virulence. To identify specific host and fungal genes and oxylipins governing the interactions …

This article provides information on recent trends in cricket farming and processing in Asian
and Western countries. Whilst eating insects collected from the wild has long been a …

Oxidative stress is recognized as a trigger of different metabolic events in all organisms.
Various factors correlated with oxidation, such as the β-oxidation of fatty acids and their …

The postharvest life of fruits and vegetables is influenced by several parameters, such as
physiological properties and biotic/abiotic stresses. In particular, a consistent portion of the …

In Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus parasiticus, lipoperoxidative
signalling is crucial for the regulation of mycotoxin biosynthesis, conidiogenesis, and sclerotia …

Lipids are central at various stages of host–pathogen interactions in determining virulence
and modulating plant defense. Free fatty acids may act as substrates for oxidizing enzymes […

Fungi can grow on many food commodities. Some fungal species, such as Aspergillus flavus,
Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium spp., can produce, under suitable …

Biosynthesis of aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus parasiticus, is correlated
to the fungal oxidative stress and cell ageing. In this paper, the mechanism underlying the …
