With 2 tables Abstract Ear rots caused by different Fusarium spp. are one of the most
dangerous food and feed safety challenges in maize production. At present, the majority of …

Trichothecenes and fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium, a filamentous fungus
that can cause disease in barley, maize, rice, wheat, and some other crop plants. Research …

The impact of climate change has been identified as an emerging issue for food security and
safety, and the increased incidence of mycotoxin contamination in maize over the last two …

Aflatoxin contamination of peanuts poses a risk to human health and has been identified as
a major constraint to trade in eastern Africa. A survey was carried out to obtain baseline data …

Background Fusarium verticillioides is a common maize pathogen causing ear rot (FER) and
contamination of the grains with the fumonisin B1 (FB1) mycotoxin. Resistance to FER and …

Key message Genetic mapping, genomic profiling and bioinformatic approaches were used
to identify putative resistance genes for ear rots and low mycotoxin contamination in maize …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a host to numerous pathogenic species that impose serious diseases
to its ear and foliage, negatively affecting the yield and the quality of the maize crop. A …

Resistance to toxigenic fungi and their toxins in maize is a highly important research topic,
as mean global losses are estimated at about 10% of the yield. Resistance and toxin data of …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most grown cereal crop in the world (839 million tons in 2012).
According to its agro‐economical importance, maize has received tremendous attention …

The three predominant ear rot (ER) diseases of maize are Aspergillus ear rot (AER),
Fusarium ear rot (FER) and Gibberella ear rot (GER). These three diseases are responsible …
