FvKex2 is required for development, virulence, and mycotoxin production in Fusarium verticillioides. [PDF]

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol
Abstract Fusarium verticillioides is one of the most important fungal pathogens causing maize ear and stalk rots, thereby undermining global food security. Infected seeds are usually unhealthy for consumption due to contamination with fumonisin B1 (FB1) mycotoxin produced by the fungus as a virulence factor ...

First Report of <i>Ophiostoma clavatum</i> and <i>Fusarium verticillioides</i> Associated With <i>Ips acuminatus</i>-Infested Scots Pine in Western Ukraine. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
This study provides the first record of Ophiostoma clavatum associated with Ips acuminatus in Ukraine, and the first evidence of Fusarium verticillioides coexisting with ophiostomatoid fungi in infested Scots pines. This fungal association may contribute to the decline of Scots pine stands.

Biology of Maize Kernel Infection by Fusarium verticillioides [PDF]

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®, 2010
Fusarium kernel rot disease starburst symptomatology was characterized fully for the first time. Two maize lines were hand pollinated and inoculated, using a fluorescent protein-expressing transformant of the fungal pathogen Fusarium verticillioides, by introduction of a conidial suspension through the silk channel of intact ears.

Occurrence of Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium musae on banana fruits marketed in Hungary [PDF]

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2015
Fusarium strains were isolated from rotten banana fruit imported into Hungary from some African and some Neotropical countries. The strains were identified using morphological features, 2-benzoxazolinone tolerance, translation elongation factor (EF-1α) sequences and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis. All strains from Africa proved

Mesoionic compounds with antifungal activity against Fusarium verticillioides [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2015
Fungi contaminate the food of humans and animals, are a risk to health, and can cause financial losses. In this work, the antifungal activities of 16 mesoionic compounds (MI 1-16) were evaluated against mycotoxigenic fungi, including Aspergillus spp., Fusarium verticillioides and Penicillium citrinum.

Loss of ZmLIPOXYGENASE4 Decreases Fusarium verticillioides Resistance in Maize Seedlings [PDF]

Genes, 2021
Fusarium verticillioides is one of the most relevant fungal species in maize responsible for ear, stalk and seedling rot, as well as the fumonisin contamination of kernels. Plant lipoxygenases (LOX) synthesize oxylipins that play a crucial role in the regulation of defense mechanisms against pathogens and influence the outcome of pathogenesis.

First Record ofFusarium verticillioidesas an Entomopathogenic Fungus of Grasshoppers [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2011
Fusarium verticillioides (Saccardo) Nirenberg (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) is the most common fungus reported on infected corn kernels and vegetative tissues, but has not yet been documented as being entomopathogenic for grasshoppers. Grasshoppers and locusts represent a large group of insects that cause economic damage to forage and crops.

A RALDH-like enzyme involved in Fusarium verticillioides development [PDF]

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2016
Retinaldehyde dehydrogenases (RALDHs) convert retinal to retinoic acid, an important chordate morphogen. Retinal also occurs in some fungi, such as Fusarium and Ustilago spp., evidenced by the presence of rhodopsins and β-carotene cleaving, retinal-forming dioxygenases. Based on the assumption that retinoic acid may also be formed in fungi, we searched

Transcriptomic Responses of Fusarium verticillioides to Lactam and Lactone Xenobiotics

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
The important cereal crops of maize, rye, and wheat constitutively produce precursors to 2-benzoxazolinone, a phytochemical having antifungal effects towards many Fusarium species. However, Fusarium verticillioides can tolerate 2-benzoxazolinone by converting it into non-toxic metabolites through the synergism of two previously identified gene clusters,

Rhizospheric bacteria of maize with potential for biocontrol of Fusarium verticillioides [PDF]

SpringerPlus, 2016
The stalk, ear and root rot (SERR) of maize caused by Fusarium verticillioides (Fv) severely impacts crop production in tropical and subtropical regions. The aim of the present work was to screen bacterial isolates in order to find novel native biocontrol agents against Fv.
