Aflatoxin Accumulation in BT and Non-BT Maize Testcrosses

Journal of Crop Improvement, 2010
The accumulation of aflatoxin, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus in maize, is a chronic problem in the southeastern United States. Its presence in grain greatly reduces its value and marketability. Aflatoxin accumulation is frequently associated with high temperatures, drought, and insect damage.

Fungal and mycotoxin contamination in Bt maize and non-Bt maize grown in Argentina

World Mycotoxin Journal, 2009
A Bt maize hybrid and its non-transgenic counterpart harvested during 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 harvest seasons from different locations within the maize-growing area in Argentina were compared for fungal and mycotoxin contamination.Fusariumspecies were the most prevalent on both genotypes with an isolation frequency >60% across all locations.

A review on comparative data concerning Fusarium mycotoxins in Bt maize and non-Bt isogenic maize

Mycotoxin Research, 2010
The European corn borer reportedly promotes the infection of maize by Fusarium spp. Stalk and ear rots caused by Fusarium spp. are often related to mycotoxin accumulation in maize kernels. As a result, food and animal feed from maize are more severely contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins: e.g.

Detection of BT transgenic maize in foodstuffs

Food Research International, 2006
Abstract Different foodstuffs for humans and monogastric animals were analysed to detect CryIA(b)gene and quantify the CryIA(b) protein present in the transgenic maize used as an ingredient. Eight out of 32 foods obtained from the market showed to have been elaborated with transgenic Bt maize.

Responses of stream macroinvertebrates to Bt maize leaf detritus

Ecological Applications, 2010
In the midwestern United States, maize detritus enters streams draining agricultural land. Genetically modified Bt maize is commonly planted along streams and can possibly affect benthic macroinvertebrates, specifically members of the order Trichoptera, which are closely related to target species of some Bt toxins and are important detritivores in ...

Fusarium verticillioides and fumonisin contamination in Bt and non-Bt maize cultivated in Brazil

Mycotoxin Research, 2017
Fusarium verticillioides is one of the main pathogens of maize, causing ear and stalk rots. This fungus is also able to produce high levels of fumonisins, which have been linked to various illnesses in humans and animals. Previous studies have shown that maize hybrids genetically modified with the cry genes from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)

Consequences for Protaphorura armata (Collembola: Onychiuridae) following exposure to genetically modified Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) maize and non-Bt maize

Environmental Pollution, 2006
Studies on the effect of genetically modified Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops on true soil dwelling non-target arthropods are scarce. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of a 4-week exposure to two Bt maize varieties (Cry1Ab) Cascade and MEB307 on the collembolan Protaphorura armata.

Impact of 9 years of Bt-maize cultivation on the distribution of maize viruses

Transgenic Research, 2008
This study assesses the effect of Bt-maize on the distribution of maize viruses. Random surveys were conducted in Spain between 2001 and 2006 to evaluate the occurrence of maize viruses in Bt-maize cultivation areas and in areas where this crop had not been introduced.
