Natural toxins - 1 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt
The Fusarium graminearum mycotoxin deoxynivalenol was shown to be more phytotoxic to corn genotypes susceptible to gibberella ear rot than resistant genotypes. The toxin caused greater damage to the membranes of the susceptible genotypes, as evidenced by the release of Na and K ions into solution. Isolated protoplasts of ear rot-resistant genotypes were able to bind more radiolabelled deoxynivalenol than those of...
