More than 100 species belong to the Fusarium genus. Among them,<br />

phytopathogenic fungi can infect various crops worldwide causing significant<br />

economic losses. In addition, toxigenic Fusaria can produce a wide array <strong>of</strong><br />

mycotoxins and represent a serious threat for food and feed safety. Tracking and<br />

understanding Fusarium diversity is therefore critical for the development <strong>of</strong><br />

efficient strategies to control fungal attacks and mycotoxin contamination.<br />

The MycSA research group collected more than 400 strains <strong>of</strong> Fusarium spp.<br />

[F.graminearum, F.culmorum, F.verticillioides and F.proliferatum] contaminating<br />

french wheat and corn harvests. All stored strains are genotyped using species-<br />

and chemotype-specific markers. The F. graminearum strains were further<br />

characterized with a set <strong>of</strong> 20 microsatellites markers (see poster “The French<br />

Fusarium Collection: a living resource for mycotoxin research”). The toxigenic<br />

potential - amount <strong>of</strong> toxins a strain can produce when cultivated on kernels in<br />

optimal conditions – has been determined for all Fusarium strains included in the<br />

MycSA collection. According to these original and highly interesting phenotyping<br />

data, the MycSA collection is unique in Europe. To promote communication,<br />

education, exchange and dissemination <strong>of</strong> these Fusarium characterized strains<br />

among the national and international research community, an online public<br />

access catalog has been developed. Catalogue consultation does not require<br />

specific knowledge on the Fusarium strains complexity and diversity. The<br />

catalogue can be browsed or searched using multiple criteria (Fusarium species,<br />

chemotype, toxigenic potential…), and strains <strong>of</strong> interest can be ordered online.<br />
