Abstract
Fusarium roseum f. sp.gibbosum andF. roseum f. sp.semitectum were isolated from blighted culms of grain sorghum. Zearalenol and 8′-hydroxyzearalenone were produced by these isolates cultured on grain sorghum or cracked yellow field corn. Zearalenol is reported to have uterotropic activity and might be an important mycotoxin in sorghum.
