Abstract

Of 88 isolates of Fusarium graminearum collected from soil or cereals in the United States, 49 produced 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-ADON) as the major isomer; one produced 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-ADON). A total of 26 isolates collected from cereals or soil in Australia, New Zealand, Norway, China, and Poland were used for comparison. Of these, 15 produced 3-ADON as the major isomer and 2 produced 15-ADON.
