Biological Control of Fusarium Head Blight of Wheat and Deoxynivalenol Levels in Grain Via Use of Microbial Antagonists

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 504))

Abstract

Efforts to reduce mycotoxin contamination in food logically start with minimizing plant infection by mycotoxin producing pathogens.Fusarium graminearum(perfect state,Gibberella zeae)infects wheat heads at flowering, causing the disease Fusarium head blight (FHB) and losses of over 2.6 billion dollars in the U.S. during the last 10 years. The pathogen often produces deoxynivalenol (DON) resulting in grain size and quality reduction. Highly resistant wheat cultivars currently are not available for reducing FHB, and labeled fungicides are not consistently effective. The feasibility of biologically controlling FHB is currently being evaluated. Microbial isolates obtained from wheat anthers were screened for their ability to utilize tartaric acid, a compound that is poorly utilized byF. graminearumand could be utilized in formulations of biological control agents. Four strains that utilized tartaric acid and three that did not were effective in reducing FHB disease severity by up to 95% in greenhouse and 56% in field trials. Additional research programs around the globe have identified other antagonist strains with potential for biologically controlling FHB. Though a considerable body of research remains to be completed, strategies and microorganisms for biologically controlling FHB have reached an advanced stage of development and offer the promise of being an effective tool that could soon contribute to the reduction of FHB severity and DON contamination of grain in commercial agriculture.
