Diversity of Mycotoxins Produced by <i>Fusarium</i> Strains Infecting Weeds
Although <i>Fusarium</i> is mainly known as an agricultural pathogen that affects monocotyledonous plants, it can also infect different species of weeds in the agricultural environment, thereby contributing to the production of mycotoxins in cereals. In this study, we present new develop...

| description | Although <i>Fusarium</i> is mainly known as an agricultural pathogen that affects monocotyledonous plants, it can also infect different species of weeds in the agricultural environment, thereby contributing to the production of mycotoxins in cereals. In this study, we present new developmental data on the diversity of mycotoxins produced by <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> and <i>Fusarium avenaceum</i> strains from weeds under field conditions. Regarding the potential for the strain dependence of mycotoxin production, this study demonstrated that all <i>F. graminearum</i> strains isolated from weeds and spring wheat showed high potential for deoxynivalenol (DON), 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3-ADON), 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (15-ADON), and nivalenol (NIV) production in spring wheat under field conditions. It was determined that <i>F. graminearum</i> is a typical producer of B-type trichothecenes. All strains of <i>F. avenaceum</i> isolated from spring wheat and weeds have the potential to produce enniatins and moniliformin in spring wheat. Each type of weed can host different <i>Fusarium</i> species and strains that produce completely different mycotoxins. Therefore, the distribution of mycotoxins in spring wheat grain may depend more on the <i>Fusarium</i> species or strains that infect the weeds than on the pathogen’s host plant species. The predominance of specific mycotoxins in cereals depends on the year’s weather conditions and the diversity of <i>Fusarium</i> species present in the field. |
