TL;DR: The results of a collaborative integrated work which aims to characterize the trichothecene genotypes of strains from three Fusarium species, collected over the period 2000–2013 and to enhance the standardization of epidemiological data collection were described.

TL;DR: Results indicate that water stress may be an important factor for fumonisin accumulation, particularly in the later phases of maize colonization when water availability decreases.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic study performed in this work using a wide sample of isolates from diverse hosts and origins revealed a high variability, while no host preferences could be sustained, suggesting that the impact of fumonisin risk in a number of commodities might need a revision.

TL;DR: A differential regulation of fumonisin biosynthesis in these isolates of the two species that might be related to their different host range, and play an ecological role is suggested.

TL;DR: Production of type A and B trichothecenes by the Spanish strains, examined in wheat cultures using a multitoxin analytical method, indicated that F. equiseti could produce deoxynivalenol and nivalanol and other trichotcenes, at concentrations that might represent a significant risk of toxin contamination for Southern European cereals.
