Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced virulence of Gibberella zeae caused by disruption of a trichothecene toxin biosynthetic gene
TL;DR: Results suggest that trichothecene production contributes to the virulence of G. zeae on some hosts, and trichotcene-deficient mutants of the fungus are generated by gene disruption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trichothecene biosynthesis in Fusarium species: chemistry, genetics, and significance.
TL;DR: It is indicated that production of trichothecenes can enhance the severity of disease caused by Fusarium species on some plant hosts, and genetic evidence that several trICHothecene biosynthetic genes are organized in a gene cluster is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced virulence of trichothecene-nonproducing mutants of Gibberella zeae in wheat field tests
Anne E. Desjardins,Robert H. Proctor,Guihua Bai,Susan P. McCormick,Gregory Shaner,G. Buechley,Thomas M. Hohn +6 more
TL;DR: The role of trichothecene toxins in the virulence of the fungus Gibberella zeae (anamorph, Fusarium graminearum) on wheat (Triticum aestivum) was analyzed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trichothecenes: from simple to complex mycotoxins.
TL;DR: This review covers the types of trichothecenes, their complexity, and proposed biosynthetic pathways of trishotoxins, which are known to cause serious human and animal toxicoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analyses of RPB1 and RPB2 support a middle Cretaceous origin for a clade comprising all agriculturally and medically important fusaria
Kerry O'Donnell,Alejandro P. Rooney,Robert H. Proctor,Daren W. Brown,Susan P. McCormick,Todd J. Ward,Rasmus John Normand Frandsen,Erik Lysøe,Stephen A. Rehner,Takayuki Aoki,Vincent Robert,Pedro W. Crous,Johannes Z. Groenewald,Seogchan Kang,David M. Geiser +14 more
TL;DR: The analyses revealed that Cylindrocarpon formed a basal monophyletic sister to a 'terminal Fusarium clade' (TFC) comprising 20 strongly supported species complexes and nine monotypic lineages, which the authors provisionally recognize as Fusaria.
