Why does a good relationship go bad? Fusarium verticilliodides - Robertson Lab
Page
One of the most commonly found fungi colonizing corn plants is Fusarium verticillioides. Infection by this fungus can result in seedling blights, stalk rots, ear rots and mycotoxin contamination of corn. More often than not however, the fungus systemically colonizes the corn plant with no disease symptoms (endophytic interaction).
