Toxicological profile of F-proliferatum isolated from maize seed, root and stalk

Abstract

Toxicological profile and fertility of twenty four isolates of P. proliferatum, isolated from maize plants grown in different localities across Serbia, were analyzed. Seven investigated isolates were MATD-1 and seventeen were MATD-2. All isolates produced FB1 at a relatively high level (up to 3950 mu g g(1)), except for MRIZP56 which did not produce any FB1. Three isolates did not produce BEA and two just in traces. All isolates produced FUP, although three in traces and two at a relatively low level (50 and 150 mu g g(-1)). Mycotoxins production distinguish between isolates originated from different part of maize plants.
