Abstract excerpt
Fusarium graminearum colonizes the maize ear, causing Gibberella ear rot (GER) and producing harmful mycotoxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). The disease can be managed in part by breeding and planting resistant maize cultivars. Resistance to GER is a quantitative and complex trait. Evaluation of diverse germplasm to identify regions and candidate genes associated with resistance may be...
