Resumen:
Fusarium head blight is an important disease principally attacking wheat, barley and other grains worldwide. Among the Fusarium species causing this disease, the most common are Fusarium graminearum. F. avenaceum, F. culmorum and F. poae are also responsible for Fusarium head blight, but are less often implicated. F. poae is a fungus of increasingly recognized importance and it has been associated with human and animal toxicoses. Besides, aurofusarin, beauvericin, butenolide, culmorin, cyclonerodiol, enniatins, fusarin, moniliformin, and trichothecenes (types A and B) are produced by F. poae strains. The evident mycotoxin variability of this fungus requires particular attention to different toxicological problems. Moreover, as the profiles of grain contaminants causing Fusarium head blight seem to be related to different environmental conditions, several evaluations using data collected from a large range of sites with contrasting climatic conditions, should be extremely useful. The aim of the present concise review is to highlight the importance of F. poae in the Fusarium head blight complex.
