title: Distribution of trichothecene mycotoxins in maize ears infected withF. graminearum andF. crookwellense.
abstract: Maize ears naturally infected withF. graminearum (6 samples) andF. crookwellense (6 samples) were collected in 1990 and 1991. All samples exhibited symptoms of severe ear rot with high percentage ofFusarium damaged kernels. Thousand kernels weight ranged 108.5 - 235.0g and was significantly lower than in control, not infested kernels (330g). All ears were contaminated withFusarium toxins but DON and NIV were the most frequently analyzed metabolites. Distribution of trichothecene mycotoxins in different parts of ear as well as toxicity of extracts toArtemia salina is reported in this paper.
