Screening of Various Metabolites in Six Barley Varieties Grown under Natural Climatic Conditions (2016–2018)

Climatic changes influence considerably the distribution and occurrence of different secondary metabolites in cereals. The aim of this investigation was to assess the changes in metabolite prevalence observed in six different winter barley varieties over a statistically significant period of three years by linking agro- climatic conditions with metabolite concentrations in chosen samples. The results showed that temperatures and precipitation levels varied during the observed timeframe and that the multi- toxin concentrations followed the trend of changing climatic conditions depending on the variety. All quantified (fungal) metabolites showed significant variations throughout the years and, for some (tryptophol and the cyclic dipeptides cyclo(L- Pro-L-Tyr) and cyclo(L-Pro-L- Val)), an unexpected, but clear connection can be made with temperature changes and precipitation levels during the growing season.
