Fusarium infection level, DNA quantity of the Fusarium poae, F. sporotrichioides, F. langsethiae, F. culmorum, F. graminearum and F. equiseti as well as deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN ) and T-2 toxin (T-2) content were investigated in grain from cultivars of different cereal species grown on organic farming sites during 2005-2006. The Fusarium infection level was examined by agar platin...

During the meteorologically contrasting period of 2003-2005, the contamination of winter wheat, malt barley and fodder barley grain with micromycetes during grain harvesting and preparation for storage was investigated. Micromycetes of over 70 species ascribed to 16 genera were isolated and identified, the density of their populations in grain was determined. Micromycetes with a population dens...

In South Africa, the main causal organisms of Fusarium head blight (FHB) are Gibberella zeae (=Fusarium graminearum), F. culmorum and F. crookwellense. Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum are associated with warmer regions, and F. crookwellense with cooler regions. Sporadic FHB outbreaks occur principally in the irrigation areas of the country. In favourable years significant damage is caused....

despite routine vaccination programs against newcastle disease (nd), sporadic cases have occasionally occurred that remain a constant threat to commercial poultry. ten isolates of newcastle disease viruses (ndv) from infected broiler chicken cases were obtained from various locations in fars province during 2009-2011 and genetically analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction...

Numerous potential components involved in the resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereals have been indicated, however, our knowledge regarding this process is still limited and further work is required. Two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines differing in their levels of resistance to FHB were analyzed to identify the most crucial proteins associated with resistance in this speci...

Wheat grains are well known to be invaded by Fusarium spp. under field and storage conditions and contaminated with fumonisins. Therefore, determining Fusarium spp. and fumonisins in wheat grains is of prime importance to develop suitable management strategies and to minimize risk. Eighty-two stored wheat samples produced in Iran were collected from various supermarkets and tested for the prese...

Chemical analysis of the culture filtrates of Fusarium culmorum CMI 14764 has demonstrated the presence of seven trichothecene mycotoxins. Major metabolites are 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol and 7 alpha, 8 alpha-dihydroxycalonectrin, with 3,15-diacetyldeoxynivalenol, deoxynivalenol, calonectrin, isotrichodermin and 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene (EPT) as minor products. The occurrence of the rarely encou...

to study the population structure of gibberella fujikuroi species complex, the causal agent of rice foot rot, samples were taken from different rice growing regions of guilan province in 2004. among fourty-one isolates recovered from different cultivars; three isolates did not produce microconidial chain. in order to study the sexual fertility and determine the mating type as well as mating pop...
