Advanced backcross selection for resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination in maize

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Ear rots and mycotoxin contamination of grain in maize (Zea mays L.) pose a threat to food production and safety, best ameliorated by breeding for resistance. In this study, we introgressed alleles conferring resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination from GE440, a highly resistant inbred with poor agronomic performance, into ...

Bacterial endophytes from wild maize suppress Fusarium graminearum in modern maize and inhibit mycotoxin accumulation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Wild maize (teosinte) has been reported to be less susceptible to pests than their modern maize (corn) relatives. Endophytes, defined as microbes that inhabit plants without causing disease, are known for their ability to antagonize plant pests and ...

Antioxidant Secondary Metabolites in Cereals: Potential Involvement in Resistance to Fusarium and Mycotoxin Accumulation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Gibberella and Fusarium Ear Rot and Fusarium Head Blight are major diseases affecting European cereals. These diseases are mainly caused by fungi of the Fusarium genus, primarily Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium verticillioides.

Aminoisothiazolamides, a new class of potent inhibitors of lysyl‐tRNA synthetase

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3956-3983, July 2025.
The present work covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess an aminoisothiazolamide scaffold as a structural key feature. Lysyl‐tRNA synthetase 1 (KRS1) was identified as the biochemical mode‐of‐action. Based on optimized and tailored synthetic approaches, a broader SAR study was carried out delivering some lead structures that ...

Ear rot diseases in maize (Zea mays L.), associated mycotoxins, and management practices in Ethiopia: A review

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) ear rots are common diseases in maize production and result in severe yield reduction and mycotoxin contamination in Ethiopia. Mycotoxins are a serious, multifaceted economic problem, and maize is one of the major crops most commonly affected by mycotoxins.

Using genome‐wide associations and host‐by‐pathogen predictions to identify allelic interactions that control disease resistance

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Characterizing the molecular mechanisms underlying disease symptom expression has been used to improve human health and disease resistance in crops and animal breeds. Quantitative trait loci and genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used to identify genomic regions that are involved in disease progression.

Maize pollen carry bacteria that suppress a fungal pathogen that enters through the male gamete fertilization route

Frontiers in Plant Science
In flowering plants, after being released from pollen grains, the male gametes use the style channel to migrate towards the ovary where they fertilize awaiting eggs.

An overview of the Ohio Corn Performance Test: Trends over 50 years

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract The Ohio Corn Performance Test (OCPT) aims to provide farmers, educators, agronomists, and seed companies with information to help growers make decisions regarding hybrid selection and increase overall crop productivity. For more than 50 years, the OCPT has evaluated the agronomic performance of commercially available corn hybrids across the ...
