Cowger, C., Patton-Özkurt, J., Brown-Guedira, G., & Perugini, L. (2009, March 9). Phytopathology, Vol. 99, pp. 320–327.
author keywords: Gibberella zeae
MeSH headings : Fusarium / physiology; Host-Pathogen Interactions; North Carolina; Plant Diseases; Rain; Seeds / chemistry; Trichothecenes / analysis; Triticum / chemistry; Triticum / microbiology
topics (OpenAlex): Mycotoxins in Agriculture and Food; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases; Wheat and Barley Genetics and Pathology
TL;DR:
This is the first investigation to show that extended post-flowering moisture can have a significant enhancing effect on FHB, FDK, DON, and percent infected kernels of wheat and imply that accurate forecasts of DON in small grains must take account of post-anthesis weather conditions.
