Influence of Sesamia nonagrioides and Fusarium verticillioides on carbon elemental and isotopic composition in maize stem piths [PDF]
BMC Research NotesThe stem borer Sesamia nonagrioides and the fungus Fusarium verticillioides are frequently present in maize. However, their interaction with this crop and their effects on its physiology remain poorly understood.

Pretreatment with Silver Thiosulfate Increases the Auxin-Inductive Effect for Rooting Mature Chestnut Shoots [PDF]
PlantsChestnut is a highly valuable species at both the ecological and economic levels, but vegetative propagation protocols have not been optimized for mature material due to its recalcitrant behaviour, thus limiting potential biotechnological applications ...

Maize kernel metabolome involved in resistance to fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Fusarium verticillioides poses a threat to worldwide maize production due to its ability to infect maize kernel and synthesize fumonisins that can be accumulated above safety levels for humans and animals.

Plants, 2022 Maturation imposes several changes in plants, which are particularly drastic in the case of trees. In recalcitrant woody species, such as chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), one of the major maturation-related shifts is the loss of the ability to form ...

Fine analysis of a genomic region involved in resistance to Mediterranean corn borer
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvere (Mediterranean corn borer, MCB) is the main pest of maize in the Mediterranean area. QTL for MCB stalk tunneling and grain yield under high MCB infestation had been located at bin 8.03–8.05 (4–21 cM and 10–30 cM ...

Reducing costs, improving profits: A low-cost culture media for woody plants micropropagation
Journal of Forest Science, 2023 Micropropagation has enormous potential in the forestry industry for the mass production of elite genotypes. A limiting factor that hinders a wider adoption of this technique is its high associated cost, dissuading small producers and laboratories from ...
