“…The 3- isolates belonging to population 2 were included in the analysis of aggressiveness, ten of these were included in the growth rate analysis c 17 3-ADON isolates were included in the analysis of aggressiveness, 16 of these were included in the growth rate analysis ADON chemotype also predominated among a small set of FGSC isolates from an earlier collection of Norwegian cereals (Langseth et al 1999(Langseth et al , 2001, and was found in oat and wheat samples collected between 2009 and 2011 in Sweden, whereas the 15-ADON chemotype was not observed (Fredlund et al 2013;Lindblad et al 2013 (Nielsen et al 2012). Our data add to a growing set of studies indicating a geographical partitioning of trichothecene types (chemotypes or genotypes) throughout Europe, with 3-ADON dominating in Northern Europe, whereas 15-ADON appears predominant in the Western and Southern Europe including the UK (Jennings et al 2004), Belgium (Audenaert et al 2009), Italy (Prodi et al 2009;Somma et al 2014), Luxembourg (Pasquali et al 2010), Poland (Stępień et al 2008), Hungary (Toth et al 2005), Germany (Talas et al 2011), and France (Boutigny et al 2014). …”
