MicroRNAs are Involved in Maize Immunity Against Fusarium Verticillioides Ear Rot

Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2020
Abstract Fusarium ear rot (FER) caused by Fusarium verticillioides is one of the most common diseases affecting maize production worldwide. FER results in severe yield losses and grain contamination with health-threatening mycotoxins. Although most studies to date have focused on comprehensive analysis of gene regulation in maize during ...

Dynamics of Gene and Allelic Expression During Modern Hybrid Maize Breeding

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3922-3938, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize breeding has greatly improved yield through single‐cross hybrids, but the underlying gene regulatory changes remain unclear. This study analysed transcriptomes of landmark maize hybrids and their parents across developmental stages and planting densities.

Qualitative analysis of biosurfactants from Bacillus species exhibiting antifungal activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Bacillus spp. produce a broad spectrum of lipopeptide biosurfactants, among which surfactin, iturin and fengycin are widely studied families. The goals of this study were to characterize the biosurfactant activity of Bacillus spp.

ZmWRKY29 Transcriptionally Represses ZmRBOHC to Attenuate ROS Production and Facilitates Gibberella Stalk Rot Susceptibility in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4044-4060, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, severely threatens maize production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance to GSR remain poorly understood. Here, we have identified ZmWRKY29 as a transcriptional repressor induced by F.

A Genome-Wide Association Study To Understand the Effect of Fusarium verticillioides Infection on Seedlings of a Maize Diversity Panel

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Fusarium verticillioides, which causes ear, kernel and stem rots, has been reported as the most prevalent species on maize worldwide. Kernel infection by F. verticillioides results in reduced seed yield and quality as well as fumonisin contamination, and
