[A] mycotoxin produced by fungi of the Fusarium genus, i.e. Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium graminearum, which are abundant in various cereal crops (wheat, maize, barley, oats, and rye) and processed grains (malt, beer and bread). 4, record 2, English, - deoxynivalenol
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
This mycotoxin occurs predominantly in grains such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, and maize, and less often in rice, sorghum, and triticale. The occurrence of deoxynivalenol is associated primarily with Fusarium graminearum(Gibberella zeae) and F. culmorum, both of which are important plant pathogens which cause Fusarium head blight in wheat and Gibberella ear rot in maize. 5, record 2, English, - deoxynivalenol

In the expansive floodplains of the Niger River in Mali farmers have grown rice for many centuries. This peculiar "African rice", or Oryza glaberrima, evolved here before the arrival of humans. Its make-up includes genetic traits essential for survival. Its stalk grows in pace with the rising water, keeping its panicle(seed head) afloat; it can cope with dehydration stress after the waters recede; and it shatters seed when mature. 2, record 3, English, - floating%20rice

Les terrasses alluviales insubmersibles de la plaine et certaines régions pionnières du Nord et du Nord-Ouest sont le domaine des rizières à alimentation pluviale, où l'eau de pluie est retenue entre des diguettes plantées de palmiers rôniers. Les régions alluviales basses utilisent, en revanche, les eaux de l'inondation annuelle qui sont peu contrôlées : c'est le domaine du riz flottant, dont la tige est capable de s'allonger assez rapidement pour suivre la montée des eaux. Dans quelques secteurs limités, des paysans ont procédé à des endiguements qui permettent de maîtriser la montée et la descente des eaux et donc de remplacer les riz flottants par des riz dressés, plus productifs. 2, record 3, French, - riz%20flottant
