Infection cycle of maize stalk rot and ear rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides. [PDF]
Fusarium verticillioides, an important maize pathogen produces fumonisins and causes stalk and ear rot; thus, we are aimed to clarify its infection cycle by assessing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) expression in stalk and ear rot strains ...

Inheritance of resistance to Fusarium ear rot in popcorn [PDF]
Abstract To date, no studies on the inheritance of Fusarium spp. ear rot resistance in popcorn are available. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the additive-dominance model to estimate the genetic components of variance, heritability and the inheritance pattern in a diallel for popcorn, by Hayman’s approach. The experiment was carried out in

Maize inbred lines resistance to fusarium ear rot
Ear rot of maize caused by Fusarium species results in yield decrease as well as in decrease of grain quality. Seven inbreed lines were sowing during three years (2001-2003) at two locations (Kutjevo-pseudogley, Nova Gradiška-amphigley). If comparing average values of examined inbreed lines, planting years and soil types, there were significant ...

Field Inoculation and Classification of Maize Ear Rot Caused by Fusarium verticillioides [PDF]
Maize ear rot is a worldwide fungal disease mainly caused by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium graminearum. Maize planted in the field was inoculated with Fusarium verticillioides at the filling stage, 15 days after pollination.

Identification of molecular markers linked to Fusarium ear rot genes in maize plants Zea mays L
Two maize populations (GE440 × Sd7 and NC300 × Gm1002) were used in this study. Molecular markers like simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence-tagged site (STS) were used to identify resistance genes linked to Fusarium ear rot (Fusarium verticillioides)

Yearly screenings of field corn cultivars by UC Cooperative Extension help plant breeders and growers in hybrid selection for tolerance to Fusarium ear rot. Researchers have found that thrips feeding carries the fungus into the corn ear.

Maize Kernel Antioxidants and Their Potential Involvement in Fusarium Ear Rot Resistance
The potential involvement of antioxidants (α-tocopherol, lutein, zeaxanthin, β-carotene, and ferulic acid) in the resistance of maize varieties to Fusarium ear rot was the focus of this study. These antioxidants were present in all maize kernel stages, indicating that the fumonisin-producing fungi (mainly Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium ...

Evaluation of ear rot (Fusarium verticillioides) resistance and fumonisin accumulation in Italian maize inbred lines [PDF]
Mycotoxin contamination of maize (Zea mays L.) grain is a global threat to the safety of both human food and animal feed. Hence, the development of maize genotypes with reduced mycotoxin accumulation in grain is of major importance.

Comparing Characterization Methods of Fusarium Ear Rot Resistance in Corn [PDF]
Fusarium Ear Rot in corn is a disease that produces toxins known as fumonisins that are harmful to humans and other animals. Characterizing and improving the resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot in corn is important to corn seed producers like Corteva to ...

Genomics of Maize Resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot and Fumonisin Contamination. [PDF]
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.
