“…The remaining kernels developing in infected heads are usually smaller, gray, shriveled, with a loose consistency and often covered with sporodochia and Fusarium spp. mycelium [18,38,46]. Damage to starch granules and changes in storage protein composition were observed in kernels infected by Fusarium spp.…”

“…Several species can cause head blight, although F. graminearum, F. culmorum and F. avenaceum are the predominant pathogens in most regions of the world [18,25,30,34,[53][54][55][56][57]. In recent years, an increase in the significance of FHB caused by F. poae has been observed, which, by infecting cereal heads and panicles, does not cause fusariosis-like etiological signs and symptoms, and does not significantly affect kernel germination capacity, but contaminates the grain with mycotoxins [46,56,58,59]. However, other species, like Fusarium sporotrichioides Sherb., Fusarium crookwellense L.W.…”

Fusarium Head Blight, Mycotoxins and Strategies for Their Reduction

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of microscopic fungi, which commonly contaminate cereal grains. Contamination of small-grain cereals and maize with toxic metabolites of fungi, both pathogenic and saprotrophic, is one of the particularly important problems in global agriculture. Fusarium species are among the dangerous cereal pathogens with a high toxicity potential. Secondary metabolites of these fungi, such as deoxynivalenol, zearalenone and fumonisin B1 are among five most important mycotoxins on a European and world scale. The use of various methods to limit the development of Fusarium cereal head diseases and grain contamination with mycotoxins, before and after harvest, is an important element of sustainable agriculture and production of safe food. The applied strategies utilize chemical and non-chemical methods, including agronomic, physical and biological treatments. Biological methods now occupy a special place in plant protection as an element of biocontrol of fungal pathogens by inhibiting their development and reducing mycotoxins in grain. According to the literature, Good Agricultural Practices are the best line of defense for controlling Fusarium toxin contamination of cereal and maize grains. However, fluctuations in weather conditions can significantly reduce the effectiveness of plants protection methods against infection with Fusarium spp. and grain accumulation of mycotoxins.

“…O-020 infectious material was a macroconidia suspension with a density of 5 × 10 5 spores mL −1 . The infectious mixture was prepared as in the research described by Kiecana and co-authors [33]: the growing medium (1:1) was composed of water extract from 0.5 kg of oat leaves and a liquid selective medium-SNA without the addition of agar, autoclaved for 1 h at 121 • C and 1 atm. The medium was inoculated with the mycelium of a two-week-old culture of F. equiseti strain No.…”

Reaction of Oat Genotypes to Fusarium equiseti (Corda) Sacc. Infection and Mycotoxin Concentrations in Grain

Fusarium head blight and the contamination of cereals with toxic fungal metabolites are particularly important problems in global agriculture. The increasingly frequent isolation of F. equiseti from cereal grain and the sparse information in the literature on the harmfulness of this fungus to oat encouraged us to conduct the present research. The aim of the study was to determine the susceptibility of oat genotypes to panicle infection by F. equiseti and mycotoxin content in the grain. Field experiments involving 10 oat genotypes were conducted over three years (2015–2017). Oat panicles were inoculated with a conidial suspension of F. equiseti, which reduced the kernels yield by 38.34%, the number of kernels per panicle by 31.16% and 1000 kernels weight by 12.33%. F. equiseti accumulated type A trichothecenes (T-2 and HT-2 toxins, scirpentriol, diacetoxyscirpenol, T-2 triol, T-2 tetraol) and type B trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, 3Ac-DON, 15Ac-DON, nivalenol, fusarenone X) in kernels at an average level of 0.0616 and 0.2035 mg·kg−1, respectively. The highest susceptibility to scabs caused by F. equiseti was found for genotype POB 4901/10, whereas cv. Elegant exhibited the highest resistance to F. equiseti in terms of yield reduction after inoculation.

“…A significant increase in FHB caused by F. poae has been recorded for the last few years. It does not cause classical fusariosis-like symptoms (significant damage to kernel germination capacity), but still produces mycotoxins [34,[36][37][38]. Other species can also be related to the pathogenesis of small cereals: Fusarium sporotrichioides, Fusarium crookwellense, Fusarium roseum, Fusarium equiseti, Fusarium tricinctum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Fusarium langsethiae, Fusarium acuminatum, Fusarium fujikuroi, and Fusarium incarnatum [23,27,[39][40][41][42][43][44].…”

Contamination of crops with phytopathogenic genera such as Fusarium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Penicillium usually results in mycotoxins in the stored crops or the final products (bread, beer, etc.). To reduce the damage and suppress the fungal growth, it is common to add antifungal substances during growth in the field or storage. Many of these antifungal substances are also harmful to human health and the reduction of their concentration would be of immense importance to food safety. Many eminent researchers are seeking a way to reduce the use of synthetic antifungal compounds and to implement more eco-friendly and healthier bioweapons against fungal proliferation and mycotoxin synthesis. This paper aims to address the recent advances in the effectiveness of biological antifungal compounds application against the aforementioned fungal genera and their species to enhance the protection of ecological and environmental systems involved in crop growing (water, soil, air) and to reduce fungicide contamination of food derived from these commodities.
