Resistance to Fumonisins and Fusarium Ear Rot of Corn
The objective of this research was to identify sources of resistance to fumonisin contamination and Fusarium ear rot of corn. This research has (i) identified isolates of F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum that produce high levels of fumonisin contamination under field conditions; (ii) adapted …

Host plant resistance and epidemiology of Fusarium ear rot in maize.
This thesis examines fusarium ear rot epidemiology in maize (Zea mays L.) and host plant resistance to Fusarium species causing ear rot, in eastern Canada, through three major groups of experiments. A three-year disease survey that determines the causal agents of maize ear rot in Ontario; a …

Inheritance of Resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot and Fumonisin Accumulation in Corn
Fumonisins produced by Fusarium verticillioides ( syn = F. moniliforme) and F. proliferatum have been associated with potentially serious toxicoses of animals and humans. Thus, hybrids with low fumonisin accumulation in grain will be valuable for the production of corn-based human food products. …

Evaluation of southern African maize germplasm for phytoalexin accumulation following inoculation by Fusarium verticillioides
… affected by many fungal pathogens. The pathogen Fusarium verticillioides causes Fusarium ear rot in maize, a disease that greatly reduces quantity and quality of annual maize yields. The pathogen produces mycotoxins called fumonisins, which have been linked to adverse health effects in both …

An investigation of Fusarium verticillioides infection in maize using physiological and molecular approaches
… providing food security to millions of people. Fusarium verticillioides is an important fungal pathogen that infects maize and causes 'Fusarium Ear Rot' which decreases maize kernel yield and quality. In addition, the fungus produces mycotoxins which contaminate the kernel and upon ingestion …
