## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** __Fusarium__ head blight of wheat is a destructive disease in various wheatβgrowing regions and leads to significant yield losses for farmers and to contamination of cereal grains with mycotoxins, mainly deoxynivalenol and its derivatives. Toxigenic __Fusarium__ species
A rapid laboratory method was developed for screening black currant juices for ascorbic acid content in a plant breeding programme.
Four different mycotoxins (patulin, T-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol and roquefortine) were used to study growth inhibitory effects on a melanin precursor overproducer mutant of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. This strain is especially sensitive to diacetoxyscirpenol and T-2 toxin. The secretion c
