Bacterial diversity and mycotoxin reduction during maize fermentation (steeping) for ogi production
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)Bacterial diversity and community structure of two maize varieties (white and yellow) during fermentation/steeping for ogi production, and the influence of spontaneous fermentation on mycotoxin reduction in the gruel were ... -
Behaviour and biology of Chilo partellus on maize landraces
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)Plants defend themselves against herbivores through activation of both constitutive and induced defences. Previous studies reported that egg deposition on maize landraces induces the release of volatiles that attract ... -
Molecular markers reveal narrow genetic base and culturing-associated genetic drift in Teretrius nigrescens Lewis populations released for the biological control of the larger grain borer in Africa
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)In biological control, successful establishment of a natural enemy species depends on its adaptability in the introduced range including its ability to re-establish desired ecological interactions with the pest. These are ... -
Stenocarpella maydis and its toxic metabolites: a South African perspective on diplodiosis
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2015)Stenocarpella maydis is one of the most prevalent ear and stalk rot pathogens of maize globally, causing reductions of grain quality and yield. Various molecular methods, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based ...
