Response to aflatoxin and grain composition of exotic maize germplasm /

Exotic germplasm has potential to provide new alleles for disease and insect resistance. US maize (Zea mays L.) currently lacks genetic resistance to Aspergillus flavus, a fungal pathogen that produces aflatoxin in maize kernels. Aflatoxin is one of the main limitations to maize production in hot,...
