Abstract
The mycotoxins citrinin, patulin and terreic acid are absorbed by rice seedling roots and translocated to shoots. Ten day analysis of toxin treated plants showed persistence of citrinin, patulin and terreic acid. All three toxins at a concentration of 100 ppm showed phytotoxic activity indicating terreic acid in addition to citrinin and patulin as phytotoxins.
