Genomics of Maize Resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot and Fumonisin Contamination [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Food contamination with mycotoxins is a worldwide concern, because these toxins produced by several fungal species have detrimental effects on animal and/or human health. In maize, fumonisins are among the toxins with the highest threatening potential because they are mainly produced by Fusarium verticillioides, which is distributed worldwide.

Molecular Basis of Resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot in Maize [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 The impact of climate change has been identified as an emerging issue for food security and safety, and the increased incidence of mycotoxin contamination in maize over the last two decades is considered a potential emerging hazard. Disease control by chemical and agronomic approaches is often ineffective and increases the cost of production; for this ...

Maize kernel metabolome involved in resistance to fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Fusarium verticillioides poses a threat to worldwide maize production due to its ability to infect maize kernel and synthesize fumonisins that can be accumulated above safety levels for humans and animals. Maize breeding has been proposed as key tool to decrease kernel contamination with fumonisins, but metabolic studies complementary to genomic ...
