It occurs when grains begin to germinate on the plant before harvest due to environmental triggers like moisture and humidity, combined with genetic factors such as low seed dormancy. This premature sprouting degrades starch, reducing grain quality and leading to significant economic losses—estimated at $1 billion globally, and $100 million annually in Canada.</p> Wed, 24 Sep 2025 17:44:13 +0000 admin 105594 at /foodscience Patrick Cortbaoui Appointed UNAI Vice Chair /foodscience/channels/news/patrick-cortbaoui-appointed-unai-vice-chair-368759 <p><a href="/globalfoodsecurity/about/senior-managing-director">Patrick Cortbaoui</a>, Senior Managing Director of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµâ€™s Margaret A.
