Genomic prediction for resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination in maize
2020-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Fusarium ear rot (FER) disease of maize (Zea mays L.) is caused by Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg, which produces fumonisin (FUM), a mycotoxin linked to human and animal health risks. Extensive field trials, laborious inoculations and ear evaluations, and expensive antibody assays are required to reliably assess resistances to FER and FUM contamination in breeding populations. To evaluate the potential...
