Determination of microelements as affected by microbial toxins in wheat

2 wheat cultivars artificially infected with 2 Fusarium strains of low and high activities, respectively, in Szeged (Cereal Research Institute).

Wheat specimen spontaneously and naturally infected - collected in Romania

The analyzed material

Artificially infected wheat cultivars – moment 0 – Fusarium strain identification

the samples were negatives

The Fusarium attack was evaluated
