Root uptake and metabolization of Alternaria toxins by winter wheat plants using a hydroponic system
Fungi of the genus Alternaria are ubiquitous in the environment. Their mycotoxins can leach out of contaminated plants or crop debris into the soil entering the plant via the roots. This is the first study demonstrating the uptake of ATs in vivo using a hydroponic system and whole wheat plants examining both the distribution of ATs within the plant compartments and the modification of Alternaria toxins by the wheat plants.
The article was published in the journal Mycotoxin Research.
