Brown midrib mutant and genome‐wide association analysis uncover lignin genes for disease resistance in maize [PDF]
Brown midrib (BMR) maize (Zea mays L.) harbors mutations that result in lower lignin levels and higher feed digestibility, making it a desirable silage market class for ruminant nutrition.

Insights into the genetic and biochemical basis of Gibberella ear rot resistance in maize. [PDF]
Abstract Fusarium graminearum colonizes the maize ear, causing Gibberella ear rot (GER) and producing harmful mycotoxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). The disease can be managed in part by breeding and planting resistant maize cultivars. Resistance to GER is a quantitative and complex trait.

Fusarium graminearum Maize Stalk Infection Assay and Associated Microscopic Observation Protocol
The ascomycete fungus Fusarium graminearum (previously also called Gibberella zeae) causes Gibberella stalk rot in maize (Zea mays) and results in lodging and serious yield reduction. To develop methods to assess the fungal growth and symptom development

Transgenic insect protection and maize stalk rot: a comparison of stalk rot occurrence and species composition of the stalk rot complex in Bt and non-Bt hybrids [PDF]
A chronic and widespread threat to maize production, stalk rots are characterized by premature death of plants, lodging and reduced grainfill. The stalk rot complex is comprised of several fungal pathogens, including Gibberella zeae, Colletotrichum ...
