Fusarium head blight is a major cereal disease caused by a complex of Fusarium species reducing grain yield and quality. In addition, some Fusarium species produce mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites, which accumulates in the grains and are a major health and food safety concern due to their toxicity to humans and animals. A new tool was developed for the assessment of the global Fusarium diversity in field samples by analysing barcode sequences generated by high throughput sequencing. This approach may be used to show changes in the composition of the Fusarium complex or detect the emergence of new Fusarium species.
