The diversity and prevalence <strong>of</strong> Fusarium species and their chemotypes on wheat<br />

in the North-West and North <strong>of</strong> Iran was determined. Wheat in these areas is<br />

severely affected by Fusarium Head Blight (FHB), with Fusarium graminearum as<br />

prevalent species causing 96% <strong>of</strong> the infections in the North-West and 50% in the<br />

Northern provinces. Fungal isolates were identified based on morphological<br />

characters and sequences <strong>of</strong> the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, and<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) and RNA polymerase subunit II<br />

(RPB2) sequences. Phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses show little<br />

haplotype variation between the F. graminearum strains collected from the<br />

different locations, but the isolates differ significantly in their trichothecene<br />

chemotypes as determined with a Luminex-Multilocus genotyping assay.<br />

Fusarium graminearum strains producing 15-ADON were abundant in Ardabil<br />

(NW <strong>of</strong> Iran), while in Golestan province (N <strong>of</strong> Iran) at the other side <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Caspian Sea especially nivalenol-producing strains and a variety <strong>of</strong> other<br />

Fusarium species were observed. Strains producing 3-ADON were rarely found in<br />

both areas. This is the first detailed study on Fusarium infections in Iranian wheat,<br />

showing large differences in prevalent etiological agents and in mycotoxin<br />

chemotypes geographically.<br />
