Integrated approaches to maximizing maize resistance to fall armyworm Open
Fall armyworm (FAW) is a serious pest of maize causing major yield loss throughout the world. FAW management is not easy primarily due to its ability to migrate into areas lacking resistant cultivars, lack of diapause, and evolving resista…

Genes and genetic mechanisms contributing to fall armyworm resistance in maize Open
Maize ( Zea mays L.) is a crop of major economic and food security importance globally. The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda , can devastate entire maize crops, especially in countries or markets that do not allow the use of tran…

Survey of Candidate Genes for Maize Resistance to Infection by Aspergillus flavus and/or Aflatoxin Contamination Open
Many projects have identified candidate genes for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation or Aspergillus flavus infection and growth in maize using genetic mapping, genomics, transcriptomics and/or proteomics studies. However, only a small pe…

Characterization of the maize lipoxygenase gene family in relation to aflatoxin accumulation resistance Open
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a globally important staple food crop prone to contamination by aflatoxin, a carcinogenic secondary metabolite produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus. An efficient approach to reduce accumulation of aflatoxin is t…
