“…Tissue maturation (Chulze et al, 1996), condition of silks following pollination, and kernel pericarp thickness (Hoenisch and Davis, 1994) are the major intrinsic aspects of maize morphology and development associated with F. verticillioides distribution within the plant. Kernel carbohydrate content is another intrinsic aspect that has been supported by some researchers (Styer and Cantliffe, 1984) and rejected by others (Headrick et al, 1990). Direct evidence of differences among maize tissue types for susceptibility to proliferation of F. verticillioides mycelia was reported by Yates and Jaworski (2000).…”

FUSARIUM VERTICILLIOIDES: MANAGING THE ENDOPHYTIC ASSOCIATION WITH MAIZE FOR REDUCED FUMONISINS ACCUMULATION

Fusarium verticillioides is a very important genus from the aspects of plant disease, cereal production, and food safety. A major concern of this species is its mycotoxins, which are harmful to humans and animals ingesting Fusariumcontaminated food or feed products. The fungus exists as a symptomless intercellular endophyte in both field and sweet maize, but its role during the symptomless state of infection is ambiguous. Most strains produce the fumonisin in large quantities during the preharvest and postharvest periods of maize production, even during the symptomless state. The dual nature of F. verticillioides as both pathogen and a symptomless endophyte indicates a complex relationship with maize. Interactive biotic factors such as plant genetics, along with abiotic factors, may alter the required balanced relationships, resulting in a weakened plant and changing the relationship into a disease, during which mycotoxins are produced. Consequently, the development of appropriate control measures for the virulent state is expected to be difficult. Two biocontrol agents and approaches are also reviewed, along that offering some pre-and postharvest biological control measures designed to reduce maize contamination by F. verticillioides and the fumonisin mycotoxins.

“…Increased amount of leaching from the seed (18) may stimulate fungi located in the soil or on the seed to grow and attack the germinating seed. Increased susceptibility due to higher sugar and moisture contents of sh2 kernels during development can lead to infection by Fusarium moniliforme and can reduce seed vigor (19). However, noninfected sh2 seeds germinated significantly less than noninfected su seeds under cold soil conditions (19), indicating that some other factor(s) might also contribute to poor seed vigor.…”

“…Selection among lines containing the sh2 genotype is effective for improving seed quality (1). Genetic susceptibility ofsh2 to infection by Fusarium moniliforme reduces seed vigor to some extent (19). Respiration rates (24) and ATP levels (20) of germinating seeds of sh2, su, and normal do not account for the growth differences among the genotypes.…”
