DOI: 10.1007/s00122-019-03412-2
Abstract: Genetic mapping, genomic profiling and bioinformatic approaches were used to identify putative resistance genes for ear rots and low mycotoxin contamination in maize. Genomic selection seems to have good perspectives. Maize is globally an indispensable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foodcont.2018.08.032
Abstract: Maize, the main dietary staple in Kenya, is one of the crops most susceptible to contamination by aflatoxin. To understand sources of aflatoxin contamination for home grown maize, we collected 789 maize samples from smallholder… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2020.109022
Abstract: Together with conducive climatic factors, poor pre-harvest practices of ethnic small-holder farmers are a major cause of the contamination of maize by Fusarium verticillioides and fumonisins. The proliferation of this field pathogen and the accumulation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1094/phyto-03-21-0104-r
Abstract: Models were developed to quantify the risk of deoxynivalenol (DON; ppm) contamination of maize grain based on weather, cultural practices, hybrid resistance, or Gibberella ear rot (GER) intensity. Data on natural DON contamination of 15-16… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/toxins14090620
Abstract: Agronomic factors can affect mycotoxin contamination of maize, one of the most produced cereals. Maize is usually harvested at 18% moisture, but it is not microbiologically stable until it reaches 14% moisture at the drying… read more here.
