چکیده

Fusarium proliferatum is a major cause of maize ear rot and fumonisin contamination and also can cause wheat kernel black point disease. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether nine F. proliferatum strains from wheat from Nepal can cause black point and fumonisin contamination in wheat kernels. For comparison, the study included three Fusarium strains from US maize. In test 1, all the strains but one produced significant symptoms of kernel black point; two strains decreased kernel yield; and four strains contaminated kernels with fumonisins B(1), B(2) and B(3) as determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Strain Ggm202 from Nepal, which produced the highest levels of fumonisins (mean = 49 microg g(-1)) on five wheat cultivars in test 1, was confirmed to produce fumonisins (mean = 38 microg g(-1)) on two cultivars in test 2. The data indicate a potential for fumonisin contamination of wheat infected with F. proliferatum.

Occurrence of Fusarium spp. and Fumonisins in Stored Wheat Grains Marketed in Iran

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...

Influence of Butylated Hydroxyanisole on the Growth, Hyphal Morphology, and the Biosynthesis of Fumonisins in Fusarium proliferatum

Fusarium proliferatum as a common fungus pathogen in foods can produce toxic fumonisins, which can cause animal diseases and increase risks of human cancers. On contrary, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) as a synthetic antioxidant offers a clue for preventing growth of fungal species and inhibiting production of mycotoxins. Unfortunately, information of the inhibitory mechanism of BHA on Fusarium...

Relationships among resistances to fusarium and Aspergillus ear rots and contamination by fumonisin and aflatoxin in maize.

ABSTRACT Fusarium verticillioides, F. proliferatum, and Aspergillus flavus cause ear rots of maize and contaminate the grain with mycotoxins (fumonisin or aflatoxin). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between resistance to Fusarium and Aspergillus ear rots and fumonisin and aflatoxin contamination. Based on a previous study of 143 recombinant inbred lines from the...

Serum vitamin A (retinol) reduction in broiler chicks on feed amended with Fusarium proliferatum culture material or fumonisin B1 and moniliformin.

Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium moniliforme, a common fungal contaminant of corn worldwide, 10 and F. proliferatum, a closely related species.l.Io.'9 The true incidence of F. moniliforme is difficult to determine because F. proliferatum has often been misidentified as F. moniliforme. lO,'3 Certain strains of F. proliferatum also produce moniliformin, but isolates of F. moniliform...

Effect of γ-irradiation on fumonisin producing Fusarium associated with animal and poultry feed mixtures

Contamination of animal and poultry feeds by Fusarium and the mycotoxin Fumonisin B1 is frequent in the feed supply chain. The present study evaluated the prevalence of fumonisin B1 producing Fusarium among irradiated and non-irradiated animal and poultry feed mixtures. Further, the efficiency of γ-rays (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 kGy) to minimize Fusarium growth and biosynthesis of fumonisin B1 i...
