“…In this respect, the occurrence of AFs and other mycotoxins is expected to increase on such occasions ( 75 ). In spite of the fact that the universal temperature may be rising above the optimum condition for APF, it is pivotal to consider the threat posed by emerging thermotolerant fungi that can produce novel health hazardous toxins ( 76 ). Therefore, smart crop breeding for developing resistance against both GCC/GW and APF might be considered as an alternative scenario in managing the reduction of AFs occurrence in food and feed ( 75 ).…”

The future GCC-connected environmental risk factors expedited the progression of nCDs. Indeed, the emergence of AFs is becoming a global food security concern. AFs are lethal carcinogenic mycotoxins, causing damage to the liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal organs. Long-term exposure to AFs leads to liver cancer. Almost a variety of food commodities, crops, spices, herbaceous materials, nuts, and processed foods can be contaminated with AFs. In this regard, the primary sections of this review aim to cover influencing factors in the occurrence of AFs, the role of AFs in progression of nCDs, links between GCC/nCDs and exposure to AFs, frequency of AFs-based academic investigations, and world distribution of AFs. Next, the current trends in the application of PPs to alleviate AFs toxicity are discussed. Nearly, more than 20,000 published records indexed in scientific databases have been screened to find recent trends on AFs and application of PPs in AFs therapy. Accordingly, shifts in world climate, improper infrastructures for production/storage of food commodities, inconsistency of global polices on AFs permissible concentration in food/feed, and lack of the public awareness are accounting for a considerable proportion of AFs damages. AFs exhibited their toxic effects by triggering the progression of inflammation and oxidative/nitrosative stress, in turn, leading to the onset of nCDs. PPs could decrease AFs-associated oxidative stress, genotoxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects by improving cellular antioxidant balance, regulation of signaling pathways, alleviating inflammatory responses, and modification of gene expression profile in a dose/time-reliant fashion. The administration of PPs alone displayed lower biological properties compared to co-treatment of these metabolites with AFs. This issue might highlight the therapeutic application of PPs than their preventative content. Flavonoids such as quercetin and oxidized tea phenolics, curcumin and resveratrol were the most studied anti-AFs PPs. Our literature review clearly disclosed that considering PPs in antioxidant therapies to alleviate complications of AFs requires improvement in their bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, tissue clearance, and off-target mode of action. Due to the emergencies in the elimination of AFs in food/feedstuffs, further large-scale clinical assessment of PPs to decrease the consequences of AFs is highly required.

“…Furthermore, basal stem rot (BSR) of OP, a serious disease caused by the fungus Ganoderma boninense Pat., is likely to increase, making the industry much less sustainable in SE Asia [9][10][11][12], and which has severely affected the industry in Indonesia and Thailand over the past 100 years. The disease causes losses of USD 50 to 350 million per annum [15,16], and this represents 0.1 to 0.7% of the total value of the industry [3]. Currently, BSR can kill 80% of a plantation at 50% of their economic lifespan [1] and can reduce yields by 50%-80%.…”

“…Increased complexity in population structure and evolution in G. boninense will occur the most where the longest interactions with OP have occurred, as in Malaysia and Indonesia, and when it is adapting to environmental changes [29]. The heterogeneous nature of the fungus will enable it to adapt to climate change more readily than OP through the selection of more virulent taxa [16,29,30] and will likely become more virulent with the changing climate.…”

Oil palms (OP) produce palm oil, a unique commodity without commercial alternatives. A serious disease of OP is basal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma boninense Pat. Climate change will likely increase BSR, thereby causing mortality of OP and reduced yields of palm oil. Work is being undertaken to produce modified OP (mOP) to resist BSR, although this will take decades for full development, if successfully produced at all. mOP will not be 100% effective, and it would be useful to know the effect of mOP on the key parameters of BSR incidence, OP mortality, and yield loss. The current paper employed CLIMEX modeling of suitable climates for OP and modeling narratives for Indonesia and Thailand. Indonesia is the largest producer of OP and Thailand is a much smaller manufacturer, and it was informative to compare these two countries. The gains from using mOP were substantial compared to the current production of some other continents and countries. The current paper, for the first time, assessed how climate change will affect BSR parameters for conventional and mOP. Greater consideration of the potential benefits of mOP is required to justify investing in the technology.

“…Ganoderma is a variable genus with poorly defined species concepts (Zhou et al., 2015). The fungus will adapt to climate change more readily than OP by the natural selection of more virulent strains (Merciere et al., 2017; Paterson & Lima, 2019). For example, a basidiocarp of G. boninense may produce millions of spores liable to variation and potentially capable of adaption to changed environments (Paterson & Lima, 2019).…”

Oil palm (OP) is affected by climate change and the cultivation of the crop also contributes to climate alteration. Simulation modelling and large data sets indicated the effects of climate change on OP will be to (a) reduce growth and yields and (b) cause death of some OP. Furthermore, basal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma boninense, a serious disease of OP, has increased over the past two or three decades because of the disease spreading from infection foci at a greater rate in repeated crops of OP planted on infested sites. The disease may increase further by natural selection of more virulent strains of the fungus. In this paper, increased mortality of OP is predicted based on climate change scenarios for Kalimantan and other South‐East Asian countries with palm oil industries. Climate suitability scenarios for growing OP are also used to assess how BSR will change in the specified region and countries. The data suggest that Kalimantan and the Philippines may be more suitable for growing OP than Thailand and Myanmar, with Papua New Guinea being intermediate. Development of methods for mitigating the effects of climate change on OP is urgently required.
