Nevertheless, genetic and biochemical pathways responsible for their biosynthesis remain under strong selection pressure, which keeps their structures and
functions relatively stable, regardless of the producing organism. Here, we
summarize the data available in recent literature reports on genetic and biochemical diversity occurring in the studies of main secondary metabolites produced by
Fusarium species differing in origin and ecology.
