Journal: Molecules
Year: 2021

Cereals are subject to contamination by pathogenic fungi, which damage grains and threaten public health with their mycotoxins. <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> and its mycotoxins, trichothecenes B (TCTBs), are especially targeted in this study. Recently, the increased public and political awareness concerning environmental issues tends to limit the use of traditional fungicides against these pathogens in favor of eco-friendlier alternatives. This study focuses on the development of biofungicides bas
