Trichothecenes NIV and DON modulate the maturation of murinedendritic cells [PDF]
Nivalenol (NIV) and Deoxynivalenol (DON), mycotoxins of the trichothecene family are considered very common food contaminants. In this work, we investigated whether the immunotoxic effects ascribed to these trichothecenes may be mediated by perturbations

Quantification of Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum by real-time PCR system and zearalenone assessment in maize [PDF]
Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin produced by some species of Fusarium, especially by Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum. ZEA induces hyperoestrogenic responses in mammals and can result in reproductive disorders in farm animals. In the present study, a

Integrating gene expression, ecology and mycotoxin production by Fusarium and Aspergillus species in relation to interacting environmental factors [PDF]
Environmental factors, such as water availability (water activity, aw), temperature and their interactions, have a significant impact on the life cycle of mycotoxigenic fungi.

Mycotoxins nivalenol and deoxynivalenol differently modulate cytokine mRNA expression in Jurkat T cells. [PDF]
Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its hydroxylated form nivalenol (NIV) are Fusarium mycotoxins that occur in cereal grains alone or in combination. Several studies have shown that these metabolites affect lymphocyte functions.

Transcriptome Analysis of Trichothecene-Induced Gene Expression in Barley
Fusarium head blight, caused primarily by Fusarium graminearum, is a major disease problem on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Trichothecene mycotoxins produced by the fungus during infection increase the aggressiveness of the fungus and promote infection in

Commercial biocontrol agents reveal contrasting comportments against two mycotoxigenic fungi in cereals: Fusarium Graminearum and Fusarium Verticillioides [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of commercialized biological control agents (BCAs) against two major mycotoxigenic fungi in cereals, Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium verticillioides, which are trichothecene and fumonisin producers ...

Transcription Activator FgDDT Interacts With FgISW1 to Regulate Fungal Development and Pathogenicity in the Global Pathogen Fusarium graminearum. [PDF]
FgDDT, serving as an Imitation Switch component, interacts with FgISW1 to activate the expression of functional genes, thereby affecting fungal development and pathogenicity in Fusarium graminearum. ABSTRACT Several DNA‐binding homeobox and different transcription factor (DDT)‐domain proteins form stable remodelling complexes with imitation switch ...

Impact of environmental factors on growth and satratoxin G production by strains of Stachybotrys chartarum [PDF]
The black mould Stachybotrys chartarum and its mycotoxins have been linked to damp building-associated illnesses. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of water availability (water activity, aw) and temperature on growth and ...
