**9. Conclusion**

The knowledge about the mycotoxins chemotypes could contribute to a better management of fungal infections and breeding of resistance, in order to obtain grains of better quality. The results will also contribute to improve our understanding of the ecology and epidemiology of FGSC members, which may be of value for

Genetic genotyping has been proved to be a useful tool for predicting trichothecene type produced by FGSC, and future work on the more effective tools for genotype determination is needed. The discovery of novel toxic metabolites belonging to trichothecenes, such as NX-toxins is also suggesting that the prevalence, distribution, and genetic diversity of FGSC require continuous monitoring.
