2. Determination of microelements as affected by microbial toxins in wheat 2 wheat cultivars artificially infected with 2 Fusarium strains of low and high activities, respectively, in Szeged (Cereal Research Institute). Wheat specimen spontaneously and naturally infected - collected in Romania The analyzed material Artificially infected wheat cultivars – moment 0 – Fusarium strain identification the samples were negatives The Fusarium attack was evaluated in different organs: parts 1grains 2chaf 3culm 4flag leaf
