Fwd from MaizeDB:
I have a somewhat unusual request. I have an ESI/MS/MS method that can
measure very low amounts of fumonisins, a fungal contaminant of maize
(theoretically, we can detect fumonisins in as little as one corn
kernel). I would like to examine maize that has been collected from
archeological sites to determine how early one can find this toxin in
maize. Do you know how I would be in contact with the holders (museums,
presumably) of such collections?
