The effect of Busseola fusca infestation, fungal inoculation and mechanical wounding on Fusarium ear rot development and fumonisin production in maize
(Elsevier, 2017)Fusarium verticillioides and Busseola fusca are among the most significant biotic constraints to maize production in South Africa. In this study, the effect of B. fusca damage and mechanical wounding to maize ears on ... -
Evaluating three commonly used growth media for assessing fumonisin analogues FB1, FB2 and FB3 production by nine Fusarium verticillioides isolates
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Maize is most often infected by the fumonisin-producing Fusarium verticillioides. Total fumonisins of natural infected grain is made up of FB1, FB2 and FB3 with FB1 occurring naturally at higher levels. A maize plant can ... -
Evaluation of fungal and mycotoxin contamination of maize consumed in the North West Province of South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)The North West province of South Africa ranks the second major maize producing region in the country after the Free State, South Africa. In the North West province, as is the case in much of the world, fungal and subsequent ... -
Fusarium verticillioides infection and fumonisin synthesis as affected by maize plant stressors
(North-West University, 2017)Fusarium verticillioides is an important ear rot pathogen of maize that can lead to economic losses due to yield and grain quality reduction. Symptoms vary depending upon genotype, environment and disease severity. F. ...
