This study shows that culmorin inhibits plant UDP-glucosyltransferases, reducing detoxification of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol and enhancing Fusarium virulence.

This paper develops a portable NIR spectrometer and chemometric model to screen maize for mycotoxin contamination, achieving 86.3% accuracy for zearalenone but lower accuracy for deoxynivalenol.

This study shows that Fusarium graminearum uses copper amine-oxidases to convert plant defense compounds into auxin, enhancing virulence.
