The distribution and co‐occurrence of four Fusarium species their mycotoxins were investigated in maize samples from two susceptible cultivars collected at 14 localities South Africa during 2008 2009. Real‐time PCR was used to quantify the respective grain, quantified by multi‐toxin analysis using HPLC‐MS. In 2008, F. graminearum predominant associated with ear rot eastern Free State, Mpumalanga KwaZulu‐Natal provinces, while verticillioides Northwest, western State Northern Cape provinces....
Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) caused by Exserohilum turcicum and Fusarium ear rot verticillioides, are economically important maize diseases in South Africa. The effect of induced plant stress NCLB on F. verticillioides fumonisin production is unknown. Four field trials were conducted during 2016/2017 2017/2018 (November December planting dates) at the Agricultural Research Council – Grain Crops Potchefstroom (South Africa). Three cultivars with varying resistance levels to selected...
Maize is most often infected by the fumonisin-producing Fusarium verticillioides. Total fumonisins of natural grain made up FB1, FB2 and FB3 with FB1 occurring naturally at higher levels. A maize plant can be more than one F. verticillioides isolate, finding a reliable method to elucidate toxigenic potential these isolates important extrapolate possible fumonisin risk consumers grain. It not clear whether produces similar levels, as well analogue ratios, across media. In this study, nine...
Fumonisins produced by F. verticillioides and proliferatum cause mycotoxicoses in horses, swine rats have been associated with oesophageal cancer humans. Accurate measurement of mycotoxins is essential for determining the safety grain their products consumption. Four sources variation were studied, namely sub-sample size, within a single maize sub-sample, number replicates toxin detection techniques used independent laboratories. Variation detected fumonisin levels sample was high using 25 g...
Abstract Fusarium spp. have variable phenotypic and morphological features when cultured on different media. Inaccurate identifications could result in variation the quantification of associated with ear rot maize two or more researchers identify same isolates based characteristics. Two hundred fifty kernels from samples collected each five localities were surface-sterilized plated selective rose Bengal-glycerine-urea (RbGU) medium which subsequently transferred to split plates containing...
Purpose: The purpose of the article is to determine whether there are any differences between high and low-income group students in their selection a cellular phone brand or network operator. Design/Methodology/Approach: Four hypotheses set if significant two income groups current decision-making. It established that exist no difference phones operators. levels agreement disagreement on various statements do, however, give an indication importance place aspects they view as important when...
