Emerging tropane alkaloid contaminations under climate change - Trends in Plant Science, 26(11), p.1101-1103, 2021 .

Climate-driven invasions of toxin-producing plants compromise human health, food safety, and food security. A recent poisoning that involved cereal products distributed by the World Food Programme revealed contamination with tropane alkaloids from seeds of invasive common thorn-apple. With continued global change, plant toxin contaminations could become a more widespread phenomenon.
