The fumonisins producing fungi, Fusarium spp., are ubiquitous in nature and contaminate several food matrices that pose detrimental health hazards on humans as well as on animals. This has necessitated profound research for the control and management of the toxins to guarantee better health of consumers. This review highlights the chemistry and biosynthesis process of the fumonisins, their occurrence, effect on agriculture and food, along with their associated health issues. In addition, the focus has been put on the detection and management of fumonisins to ensure safe and healthy food. The main focus of the review is to provide insights to the readers regarding their health-associated food consumption and possible outbreaks. Furthermore, the consumers’ knowledge and an attempt will ensure food safety and security and the farmers’ knowledge for healthy agricultural practices, processing, and management, important to reduce the mycotoxin outbreaks due to fumonisins.

The genus Litsea is predominant in tropical and subtropical regions of India, China, Taiwan, and Japan. The plant possesses medicinal properties and has been traditionally used for curing various gastro-intestinal ailments (e.g., diarrhea, stomachache, indigestion, and gastroenteritis) along with diabetes, edema, cold, arthritis, asthma, and traumatic injury. Besides its medicinal properties, Litsea is known for its essential oil, which has protective action against several bacteria, possesses antioxidant and antiparasitic properties, exerts acute and genetic toxicity as well as cytotoxicity, and can even prevent several cancers. Here we summarize the ethnopharmacological properties, essentials oil, medicinal uses, and health benefits of an indigenous plant of northeast India, emphasizing the profound research to uplift the core and immense potential present in the conventional medicine of the country. This review is intended to provide insights into the gaps in our knowledge that need immediate focus on in-situ conservation strategies of Litsea due to its non-domesticated and dioecious nature, which may be the most viable approach and intense research for the long-term benefits of society and local peoples.

The dim1+ gene family is essential for G2/M transition during mitosis and encodes a small nuclear ribonucleoprotein that functions in the mRNA splicing machinery of eukaryotes. However, the plant homolog of DIM1 gene has not been defined yet. Here, we identified a gene named GmDim1 positioned on chromosome 9 of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) with 80% homology to other eukaryotic dim1+ family genes. A domain of soybean DIM1 protein was primarily conserved with U5 snRNP protein family and secondarily aligned with mitotic DIM1 protein family. The GmDim1 gene was expressed constitutively in all soybean organs. The transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) plants overexpressing GmDim1 showed early flowering and stem elongation, produced multiple shoots and continued flowering after the post-flowering stage. DIM1 proteins transiently expressed in onion cells were localized in the nucleus with dense deposition in the nucleolus. Therefore, we propose that the soybean GmDim1 gene is a component of plant U5 snRNP involved in mRNA splicing and normal progress of plant growth.

Proper function of the LAX1 gene is required for the development of axillary meristem in rice. Here, we report genetic and phenotypic characters of a novel recessive mutant allele of rice LAX1 gene, lax1-6, which showed abnormal panicle phenotypes with few numbers of elongated primary rachis branches. Beside typical lax mutant phenotype, abnormalities of lax1-6 mutant allele were observed with defect lemma and palea primordial in floral organs. The lax1-6 mutant locus was linked between SSR markers RM7594 and RM5389 on chromosome 1 with 1.02% and 1.0% recombination frequencies, respectively. Molecular analysis revealed that the lax1-6 mutant allele was caused by a transversion mutation of nucleotide T to G substitution that resulted in an amino acid substitution from serine (S) to alanine (A) at the 117th position from amino terminus of a basic helix-loop-helix protein coded by LAX1 gene. Furthermore, we found that the Oryza sativa indica type cv. IRRI347 contained 24 nucleotide deletion in the upstream sequence in the LAX1 gene, but this deletion did not influence panicle morphology, which demonstrated that the deletion is a polymorphism in rice. All together, the lax1-6 mutant is a newly identified allele of LAX1 gene displaying the abnormal axillary meristems and inflorescences in rice.

The maize(Zea mays) crinkty4 (cr4) gene encodes a receptor-like kinase (RLK). Its mutants show irregularities in the epidermal cells of crinkled and severely adherent leaves, resulting in dwarf characteristics and delayed growth. We successfully grewcr4 mutants up to the reproductive stage, where we noted both pistillate and staminate spikelets in the tassels. This suggests that thecr4 gene may be involved in the sex-determination process during bisexual floral-organ development We found no remarkable abnormalities in the roots. Northern-blot analysis showed thatcr4 gene transcripts were abundant in the leaves, weak in the stems, tassels, and ears, and hardly measurable in the roots. Likewise, transcripts were not detected in the leaves of dark-grown seedlings, but were greatly induced after 24 h of light exposure, indicating that expression of thecr4 gene is regulated by light However, transcripts were not inducible in the roots of seedlings either when grown in the dark or following exposure to light treatment, which suggests that this gene is expressed only in aerial-specific organs.

We used petiole/leaf cuttings from potato (Solanum tuberosum L) to study the effect of plant hormones on expression of the vegetative MADS-box gene,POTM1-1. Transcript levels were constitutive after treatments with exogenous ABA, GA3, methyl jasmonate (Meja), and NAA. However, transcripts amounts were reduced when tissues were treated with BA. High levels of cytokinin disrupted apical dominance and promoted axillary-bud formation. Therefore, based on these results, thePOTM1-1 gene may conceivably be involved in maintaining the proper development of vegetative axillary meristems.
