Diverse Components of Resistance to <i>Fusarium verticillioides</i> Infection and Fumonisin Contamination in Four Maize Recombinant Inbred Families

The fungus <i>Fusarium verticillioides</i> can infect maize ears, causing Fusarium ear rot (FER) and contaminating the grain with fumonisins (FUM), which are harmful to humans and animals. Breeding for resistance to FER and FUM and post-harvest sorting of grain are two strategies for red...
