Description
This clear, in-depth guide describes the Fusarium genus and its toxins - a group of plant pathogens associated with fatal outbreaks of alimentary toxic Aleukia disease in man, and implicated as the active agent in "yellow rain." Noted authority Abraham Joffe presents new and original research into the chemistry, biochemical and toxilogical properties, and effects of the four major groups of fusariotoxins: trichothecenes and zearalenone and their derivates, moniliformin, and butenolide.
