Resumen:
The toxigenic potential of 144 Fusarium graminearum sensu stricto
strains isolated from wheat in different subregions of the main
production area in Argentina during 2001, 2003 and 2004 harvests was
studied. The mycotoxin producing ability of the isolates was examined
by Gas Chromatography with Electron Capture Detection and confirmed by
Mass Spectrometry. Analysis of the trichothecene chemotype distribution
across the Argentinean wheat cropping area revealed that
15-acetyldeoxynivalenol was the most common chemotype. Two other
chemotypes, the 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol and 3- and
15-acetyldeoxynivalenol, were always present. The number of isolates
with simultaneous production of both acetylderivatives increasedalong the years. The frequency of isolates with different toxigenic profile did not shown significantdifferences
by subregions. An increased vigilance over crop seasons and
geographical areas should be carried out to detect changes in the
chemotypes distribution.
