therapeutic action: Light wavelength manipulation for disease management and mycotoxin reduction

Influence of Light Spectrum on Bread Wheat Head Colonization by Fusarium graminearum and on the Accumulation of Its Secondary Metabolites

Researchers studied how different colors of light affect a fungal disease in wheat and the toxic compounds it produces. They found that blue light reduces disease spread but increases toxin production, while red light also reduces disease but increases different types of toxins. This discovery could help farmers better manage wheat diseases by understanding how light conditions affect both the fungus and the grain’s safety.
