SafeOats: Resistance to Fusarium langsethiae in Norwegian oats

End: dec 2020
Start: may 2016
Safe oats for food and feed through knowledge of the biology of F. langsethiae and development of methods to identify oat varieties with low content of HT2+T2.

Havreseminaret, 18. november 2020:
Status | Concluded |
Start - end date | 01.05.2016 - 31.12.2020 |
Division | Division of Biotechnology and Plant Health |
Department | Fungal Plant Pathology in Forestry, Agriculture and Horticulture |
Total budget | 10700000 |
Secondary objectives (1-8):
1. Norwegian oat varieties and breeding lines are ranked reliably based on the content of Fusarium langsethiae and HT2+T2 after natural infection
2. A method for investigating resistance to F. langsethiae in oats is established for greenhouse conditions
3. A method for investigating resistance to F. langsethiae in oats is established for field conditions
4. Incidence of mycotoxins in different size fractions of oat grains is identified
5. Significance of F. langsethiae and HT2+T2 for seed quality are surveyed
6. Gene expression pathways associated with putative resistance to F. langsethiae are characterized
7. Selected phenological and physiological characteristics associated with resistance to F. langsethiae in oats are identified
8. Oat varieties with a low content of both DON and HT2+T2 are identified within the current Nordic germplasm
Safe Oats will give new insight into the biology of F. langsethiae and HT2+T2 accumulation in oats, and provide information on varietal differences in toxin levels. Moreover, SafeOats will develop resistance screening methods in collaboration with the main Norwegian and Swedish oat breeding companies, thus facilitating the phase-out of susceptible germplasm. Furthermore, the project will provide information whether there are varietal differences concerning the content of mycotoxins in different size fractions of oat grains, and whether seed borne inoculum might be a source of F. langsethiae infections. The results from SafeOats will thus benefit consumers nationally and internationally by providing tools to increase the share of high quality grain into the food and feed industry.

Kornbransjen har gjennom flere år hatt store praktiske og økonomiske utfordringer knyttet til forekomst av Fusarium og mykotoksiner i korn. Fra 2011 har det vært pristrekk i havre ved høyt innhold av soppgiften deoksynivalenol (DON). Det er innført grenseverdier for innhold av DON i korn til mat og fôr. Imidlertid er det ikke alltid samsvar mellom innhold av DON og andre soppgifter i korn. Forskning ved Norsk institutt for bioøkonomi (NIBIO), Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet (NMBU) og planteforedlingsselskapet Graminor, viser at enkelte havresorter som får lite DON, kan inneholde mye av toksinene HT2 og T2. Disse mykotoksinene er vesentlig mer giftige enn DON og produseres av en nylig identifisert soppart, Fusarium langsethiae.
