Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Fusarium spp. are economically important crop pathogens and causal agents of Fusarium head blight (FHB) of cereals worldwide. Of the FHB pathogens, Fusarium graminearum 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-ADON) and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-ADON) are the most aggressive mycotoxigenic chemotypes, threatening food and feed quality as well as animal and human health. The objective of the study was to evaluate host specificity and fungal-fungal interactions of Sphaerodes mycoparasitica- a recently described mycoparasite - with F. graminearum 3- and 15-ADON strains by employing in vitro, microscopic and PCR techniques. Results obtained in this study show that the germination of mycoparasite ascospore in the presence of F. graminearum 3- and 15-ADON filtrates was greatly improved compared with Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium sporotrichioides filtrates, suggesting a compatible interaction. Using quantitative real-time PCR with Fusarium-specific (Fg16N) and trichothecene Tri5 (Tox5-1/2)-specific primer sets, S. mycoparasitica was found to reduce the amount of F. graminearum 3-ADON and 15-ADON DNAs under separate coinoculation assays. Sphaerodes mycoparasitica was not only able to germinate in the presence of F. graminearum filtrates, but also established biotrophic mycoparasitic relations with two F. graminearum chemotypes and suppressed Fusarium growth.
