Deoxynivalenol (DON) and deoxynivalenol 3-glucoside (DON-3G) contamination, expressed in µg/g, in the second year of experiment (2009).
| Stage of growth | Part of plant | Blank | F. graminearum | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DON | DON-3G | DON | DON-3G | ||
| second internode | Crown | Nd | - | 21.6 | - |
| Stem | Nd | - | 4.6 | - | |
| Milky ripening | Crown | Nd | - | 87.5 | 27.3 |
| Stem | Nd | - | 10.3 | 5.5 | |
| Heads | Nd | - | 0.1 | 2.3 | |
| Vitreous ripening | Straw | Nd | - | 23.8a | 16.8b |
| Kernels | Nd | - | 0.1a | 0.1a | |
Notes: Nd = not detected (LOD = 0.02 µg/g for kernels, 0.05 µg/g for other plant materials); - = not analyzed; Different letters in the row indicate statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between DON and DON-3G; same letters in the row indicate no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) between DON and DON-3G.
