Pathogenicity of Fusarium Isolates from Wheat, Rye and Triticale Towards Seedlings and their Ability to Produce Trichothecenes and Zearalenone

Abstract

Abstract 37 Fusarium isolates ( F. culmorum 20, F. graminearum 4, F. avenaceum 3, F. solani 4, and F. equiseti 6 from wheat, rye and triticale) were examined for pathogenicity and tested for zearalenone (F‐2) and trichothecenes production in vitro . Strong pathogens ( F. culmorum and F. graminearum ) produced deoxynivalenol and 3‐acetyl‐deoxynivalenol and zearalenone in considerable quantities.
