The Effect of <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> on Seedling Development in Maize by Isabella Mazzoleni, Elena Novarina, Yuki Michelangelo Zerlottin, Tommaso Bardelli, Mauro Dal Prà, Mattia Zuffada, Matteo Cremonesi, Luca Antonietti, Romana Bravi, Pier Giacomo Bianchi, Anna Pia Maria Giulini

“…In this study we suggest a simple methodology to test the susceptibility of candidate maize varieties to <i>A. flavus</i> before their release onto the market. A panel of 92 inbred lines and 14 hybrids were analysed, disease phenotypes were scored on artificially inoculated kernels using a rolled towel assay, and therefore we observed different responses to fungal infection on the kernels, outlining a high variability among the tested lines characterized by a different effect of the pathogen on seedling development. …”
