AVEQ - WP 5

WP 5: Partners

• P4 Eurofins WEJ Contaminants GmbH (Germany) Scarlett Biselli, Ole Winkelmann, Simone Staiger

• P6 (CRA – MAC) Bergamo (Italy) Rita Redaelli

• P8 (CRA-GPG) Fiorenzuola (Italy) Valeria Terzi, Caterina Morcia

Methods of analysis?

WP 5: Task and questions

Which Fusarium species?

Which mycotoxins?

Analyse mycotoxins and identify Fusarium species

To dehulle or not to dehulle?

WP 5: Methods I

DON and T-2 (Commission regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006)

ELISA (LOD for DON < 20 ppb, T-2 < 5 ppb)

LC-MS/MS

DON, T-2, HT-2, ZEA, NIV, DAS, 3-ADON, 15-ADON

harmonisation of ELISA laboratories

determination of Fusarium species by PCR (P8)

WP 5: Methods II

samples are not dehulled before analysis

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1881/2006

Methods III - samples

DON and T-2 by ELISA 100 inoculated accessions from three locations

DON and T-2 by ELISA 100 non inoculated accessions from one location

11 standards in two replications from all locations, both inoculated and non inoculated

DON, T-2, HT-2, ZEA, NIV, DAS, 3-ADON, 15-ADON by LC-MS/MS for standards from all locations both I and NI)

In total: 2200 ELISA, 200 LC-MS/MS, 200 PCR analysis

Microscopic fungi

inoculum

Different fungi differ in their requirements on environment conditions

substrate

environment conditions

Perithecium Giberella zeae, 14.5.2009

Mycotoxin concentration is dependant on:

Region - Mainly impact of weather- (cropping practices)

Cereal crop - Impact of host resistance to different fusarium pathogens

Year - Impact of weather

Influence is different for different mycotoxins
