The methanol leaf extracts of Acacia nilotica, Sida cordifolia, Tinospora cordifolia, Withania somnifer and Ziziphus mauritiana showed significant antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus aureus and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum and antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Dreschlera turcica and Fusarium verticil...

To determine if differences exist in the ability of three Fusarium species (F. graminearum, F. verticillioides, and F. subglutinans) to infect maize ears as the silks and kernels mature, one moderately resistant and two susceptible hybrids were inoculated at two points of entry (silk channel and kernels) in 1994 and 1995. Inoculations were conducted nine times for each part of the ear starting ...

Ear rot is a serious disease that affects maize yield and grain quality worldwide. The mycotoxins are often hazardous to humans and livestock. In samples collected in China between 2009 and 2014, Fusarium verticillioides and F. graminearum species complex were the dominant fungi causing ear rot. According to the TEF-1α gene sequence, F. graminearum species complex in China included three indepe...

During 2006 and 2007, a total of 64 Thai dried coffee bean samples (Coffeaarabica) from two growing sites in Chiangmai Province and 32 Thai dried coffeebean samples (Coffea canephora) from two growing sites in Chumporn Province,Thailand, were collected and assessed for fumonisin contamination by blackAspergilli. No Fusarium species known to produce fumonisin were detected, b...

Los inhibidores fúngicos son alternativas para el manejo de hongos micotoxigénicos, como Aspergillus sp. y Fusarium El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar efecto in vitro extracto Larrea tridentata 95%, azadiractina 85% la mezcla ácido ascórbico 1% + cítrico 0,25% láctico 0,25%, sobre flavus, A. fumigatus verticillioides. Se aplicó un diseño experimental completamente al azar, donde los tratamient...

Millet is a cereal of enormous importance with potentials in the agricultural systems and food security but it constitutes a neglected agrobiodiversity. Soil borne pathogenic fungi could be possible culprit to millet cultivation in southwestern Nigeria. Therefore, this study investigates the pathogenic effect of isolated Fusarium species from soil on millet seedlings under greenhouse conditions...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is susceptible to infection by Fusarium verticillioides through autoinfection and alloinfection, resulting in diseases and contamination of maize kernels with the fumonisin mycotoxins. Attempts at controlling this fungus are currently being done with biocontrol agents such as bacteria, and this includes bacterial endophytes, such as Bacillus mojavensis . In addition to produ...
