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: Solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods are established to quantify these mycotoxins at trace concentrations in aqueous natural samples of Fusarium spp.

TL;DR: Winter wheat varieties inoculated with F. poae and F. avenaceum proved to be more pathogenic than these varieties, leading to a higher disease level, yield reductions up to 25%, and greater toxin contamination, while variety had a strong effect on all variables, but isolate effects on visual disease were not reflected in toxin production.

TL;DR: A generalized linear regression model containing the three cropping factors harvest date, pre-precrop and seed treatment was established, to explain DON contamination of silage maize and is suggested a European-wide survey on silage corn.

TL;DR: It can be assumed that ZON contributes little if at all to the overall estrogenicity of major surface water bodies, however, in small creeks, mainly fed by agricultural runoff, ZON might be present in environmentally critical concentrations at times of F. graminearum infections.
