Fusarium Head Blight, Mycotoxins and Strategies for Their Reduction (2020, background): “It has been shown that cereal virulence of many species of the genus Fusarium largely depends on the synthesis of trichothecene compounds, especially deoxynivalenol and its acetyl derivatives and enzymes degrading cell walls of the host plant, mainly cellulases, chitinases and xylanases [68,69,79,80”
Survival of Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight. A review (2012, background): “The plant cell-wall components cellulose, xylan, and pectin are damaged when they are in direct contact with the pathogen growing interand intracellularly in the tissues of wheat spikelets (Wanjiru et al. 2002).”
