Abstract:Native genetic resistance has been considered an effective and environmentally safe alternative to control fungal infections and to reduce mycotoxins accumulation in maize grains. Marker-assisted breeding can be used to accelerate the genetic gains for fumonisin contamination resistance. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes for resistance to fumonisin contamination in an Embrapa’s tropical maize panel. Two-hundred and five inbreed lines were evalu… Show more
