Impact of trichothecenes onFusariumhead blight [Fusarium graminearum] development in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Greenhouse Studies Reveal Increased Aggressiveness of Emergent Canadian Fusarium graminearum Chemotypes in Wheat

“…It has previously been established that trichothecenes are important factors of aggressiveness for FHB disease spread in wheat and related cereals (4,13,23,34). Fusaria that produce the Type B trichothecenes nivalenol (NIV), 4-deoxynivalenol (DON), and their acetylated derivatives are most commonly found in association with FHB-infected crops (15).…”

Fusarium Mycotoxins and Their Role in Plant–Pathogen Interactions

“…While tri5 mutants showed reduced spreading ability in many hexaploid wheat cultivars [93] and other cereals [94], still extensive spreading of the toxin deficient tri5 mutant was observed in durum wheat (which seems to be highly susceptible to another virulence factor). While the genetics of Fusarium resistance is complex and polygenically inherited, one quantitative trait locus (QTL), Qfhs.ndsu-3BS-strongly contributing to Fusarium spreading resistance [95,96]-received particular attention.…”

An innovative brilliant blue FCF method for fluorescent staining of fungi and bacteria

“…Fusarium graminearum strains were grown in 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl) carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate (CMC) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) broth to obtain suffi cient macroconidia (Eudes et al 2001) and on potato dextrose agar (PDA) for mycelia. T. harzianum, S. quadrangularis, G. hyalina and G. acutata were grown on PDA for 7 days at 21 o C in darkness.…”
