VALIDATING A RAPID IMMUNOLOGICAL TEST FOR FUSARIUM GRAMINEARUM

Objective

Examine the relationship between fugal mass, DON, and antigen mass in Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium spp. isolates grown under different environmental stresses. Determine the relationship between quantitative values F. graminearum and DON in single kernels of barley collected from seed heads with varying FHB severity ratings. Compare immunoquantification with real-time PCR, FHB severity scores and ergosterol quantifications of Fusarium graminearum.
