Article Abstract
Maize ( L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, but ear rot poses a significant threat to its production. Diverse pathogens cause ear rot in China, with spp. being predominant, especially and . Current methods for the control of ear rot are limited, making the use of resistant germplasm resources an effective and economical management strategy. Earlier research focused on resistance to Fusarium ear rot (FER; caused by ) and Gibberella ear rot (GER; caused by ), but assessing maize resistance to multiple major spp. is critical in ensuring maize production. Thus, the resistance of 343 maize germplasm resources to ear rot caused by six spp. (, , , , , and ) was evaluated in this study. Over three years, 69 and 77 lines resistant to six and five ear rot diseases, respectively, and 139 lines resistant to both FER and GER were identified. Moreover, the 343 germplasm resources were divided into eight heterotic groups, of which PH4CV was the most resistant one, whereas NSS and Pioneer Female were the least resistant ones. These findings provide a basis for the development of maize cultivars with broad-spectrum ear rot resistance.

Background: Fusarium Ear Rot is one of the major diseases affecting maize worldwide, causing decreases in yield and fumonisins accumulation in crops. In this framework, identifying resistance traits in plants is of great interest for breeding programs. To delve deeperr into the role of lipids on resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot, a lipidomic study has been performed using resistant and susceptible maize recombinant inbred lines.

Fusarium graminearum colonizes the maize ear, causing Gibberella ear rot (GER) and producing harmful mycotoxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). The disease can be managed in part by breeding and planting resistant maize cultivars. Resistance to GER is a quantitative and complex trait.

Nanotechnology has transformed agriculture by offering innovative, sustainable solutions to persistent challenges in plant disease management. Among these advancements, biogenic nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical controls due to their unique bioactivity and environmentally benign synthesis. This study investigates the potential of myco-silver nanoparticles (myco-AgNPs) synthesized from Trichoderma harzianum as a biocontrol agent against maize ear and stalk rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides.
