Uncovering Genetic and Metabolic Determinants of Gibberella Ear Rot Resistance in Diverse Maize Germplasm
2025-05-27
Abstract excerpt
Fusarium graminearum colonizes the maize ear causing Gibberella ear rot (GER) and producing harmful mycotoxins, such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA), that pose a risk to human and animal health when consumed. 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...
