Stalks and roots are the main battlefield for the coevolution between maize and Fusarium verticillioides

Frontiers in Plant Science
Fusarium species are the dominant cause of maize ear rot, but they also inflict serious damage to the roots and stalks. Theoretically, the organ where the host interacts with the pathogen most frequently should exhibit the highest degree of symptom ...

Identification of molecular markers linked to Fusarium ear rot genes in maize plants Zea mays L

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016
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)

Evaluation of ear rot (Fusarium verticillioides) resistance and fumonisin accumulation in Italian maize inbred lines

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2014
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.

Breeding for resistance to ear rots caused by Fusarium spp. in maize – a review [PDF]

Plant Breeding, 2011
With 2 tablesAbstractEar rots caused by different Fusarium spp. are one of the most dangerous food and feed safety challenges in maize production. At present, the majority of the inbreds and hybrids are susceptible. Gibberella and Fusarium ear rots (caused by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium verticillioides, respectively) are the two main diseases ...

Transcriptome and Hormone Regulations Shape Drought Stress‐Dependent Fusarium Head Blight Susceptibility in Different Barley Genotypes

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5738-5755, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Little is known about regulatory mechanisms that crop plants use to respond to combinations of abiotic and biotic stress. We analysed four barley genotypes under simultaneous Fusarium culmorum infection and drought stress by phenotyping for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) disease, drought stress responses, hormone profiling and transcriptome ...

Fungal Species and Mycotoxins Associated with Maize Ear Rots Collected from the Eastern Cape in South Africa

Toxins
Maize production in South Africa is concentrated in its central provinces. The Eastern Cape contributes less than 1% of total production, but is steadily increasing its production and has been identified as a priority region for future growth.

Seed‐Associated Trichoderma and Their Potential as Biocontrol Agents Against Plant Diseases

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Trichoderma is a genus of beneficial fungi widely used in agriculture. Over 2 years of routine seed health analyses, we investigated the diversity of seed‐borne Trichoderma strains associated with seeds from 32 cultivated plant species. We assessed their mycoparasitic activity and their potential for disease suppression and plant growth promotion ...

Biofumigation for the Management of Fusarium graminearum in a Wheat-Maize Rotation

Pathogens, 2022
Fusarium graminearum is the most important causal agent of head blight in wheat, and stalk and ear rot in maize. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of incorporation of Brassicaceae cover crops on Fusarium graminearum in a wheat ...

Evaluating putative lncRNA‐mediated ceRNA regulatory network involving miR396 and miR319 in maize leaf growth under Fusarium verticillioides infection

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
The final leaf length of maize (Zea mays) was reduced due to the pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides infection as a result of increased expression of miR396 in the elongation zone and decreased expression of miR319 in the mature zone of maize leaves, leading to antagonistic regulation of the expression of the GRF15 and TCP38, respectively ...

Influence of insecticide treatments against the European corn borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) on the Incidence of Fusarium ear rot [PDF]

Ratarstvo i Povrtarstvo
Maize production is often threatened by numerous phytophagous insect species and diseases, among which the European corn borer (ECB) Ostrinia nubilalis and ear rot caused by Fusarium species stand out. The damage to maize ears caused by the European corn
