Influence of temperature on the strain of Fusarium graminearum Schwabe in zearalenone production

Five strains of Fusarium graminearum isolated from maize in Ontario were evaluated for zearalenone production relative to incubation temperature. All strains produced significant amounts of zearalenone at 25 °C. Toxin production was enhanced by temperature stress (reducing the incubation temperature...

Description
Summary:Five strains of Fusarium graminearum isolated from maize in Ontario were evaluated for zearalenone production relative to incubation temperature. All strains produced significant amounts of zearalenone at 25 °C. Toxin production was enhanced by temperature stress (reducing the incubation temperature to 10 °C following a period of growth at 25 °C) in only one of the strains tested.
