Evaluation of ear rot (<em>Fusarium verticillioides</em>) resistance and fumonisin accumulation in Italian maize inbred lines

Mycotoxin contamination of maize (Zea mays L.) grain is a global threat to the safety of both human food and animal feed. Hence, the development of maize genotypes with reduced mycotoxin accumulation in grain is of major importance. In order to find maize germplasm sources of resistance to Fusarium...
