Title

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The listed antioxidants were present in all maize kernel stages.
- Intervention effect Carotenoids had no inhibitory effect on fumonisin accumulation in F. verticillioides liquid cultures.
- Intervention effect Sublethal α-tocopherol inhibited fumonisin accumulation in F. verticillioides cultures.
- Intervention effect Sublethal ferulic acid inhibited fumonisin accumulation in F. verticillioides cultures.
- Association Ferulic acid was significantly lower in immature kernels of very susceptible maize genotypes.
- Association Carotenoids had no stated relation to susceptibility to Fusarium ear rot.
- Observation Ferulic acid in immature maize kernels ranged from 3 to 8.5 mg/g.
- Mechanism The authors infer that ferulic acid may contribute to resistance to Fusarium ear rot and/or fumonisin accumulation.
