“…Seeds were sown on 4 th April, 2016 in a greenhouse located at Crop Research Institute, Prague, Czech Republic (50°5′ N; 14°25′ E) under regulated watering till flowering stage. During flowering stage (9 th June 2016; full flowering stage BBCH 65), plants of both cultivars were divided into three groups: control plants, plants inoculated with an inoculum of Fusarium culmorum strain B grown on potato dextrose agar (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) and plants treated with a solution of deoxynivalenol [DON; Sigma-Aldrich, 10 μg mm -3 diluted in phosphate buffer saline (PBS), pH 7.5, 0.05 % Tween-20; 10 mm 3 of DON solution was applied per one spike] using a single-floret method (Vančo et al 2007;Chrpová et al 2011). The spikes of all three plant groups were harvested for proteomic analysis at 10 dai and 10 d after DON application, respectively, when the plants were at early-dough stage (BBCH 73).…”
