fusariosis/zea mays

A time course study was made of the development of Fusarium infection and the appearance of the three Fusarium toxins, nivalenol (NV), deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN), in various fractions of maize plants from two sites in New Zealand, one in the Manawatu region and one in the Waikato.

The objective of the performed investigations was to isolate pathogenic fungi from contaminated maize cobs, to assess the appearance of maize cob fusariosis and to determine grain contamination with deoxynivalenol in the cultivation of genetically modified maize containing a gene resistance against

Fusarium infection of maize leaves and/or roots through the soil can stimulate the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is also well known that VOC emission from maize plants can repel or attract pests. In our experiments, we studied VOC induction responses of Zea mays L. ssp. mays cv.

Effect of salicylic acid and Fusarium moniliforme on trypsin inhibitor activity, lectine activity, lectine carbohydrate specificity, and salicylic acid content in sprouted maize was studied. Changes in trypsin inhibitor activity, lectine activity, and content of endogenous salicylic acid during

The internal mycoflora of silage maize plants was examined in several years. Average Fusarium infection of the maize plants was 10.4% and leaf sheaths and stalks were preferably colonized by the fungi. During the growing season an increase in total colonization of the maize plant by field fungi as

A soil sampling was made in 50 cultivated places with horticultural and floral species where there were fusariosis records. For the isolation Bengal rose agar, peptone dichloran chloramphenicol agar and cayote dichloran chloramphenicol agar were used, being this last one, the more convenient. The

Infection of corn (Zea mays L.) ears with fungal pathogens of the Fusarium genus might result in yield losses and in the accumulation of mycotoxins. The aim of this study was to investigate whether volatile profiles could be used to identify Fusarium-infected corn ears. The volatiles released by
