Ear-rot-causing fungi, including Aspergillus and Fusarium spp., are common in maize in West and Central Africa. These fungi contaminate maize with mycotoxins that pose serious potential health hazards to humans in these areas. A collaborative germplasm screening project was initiated between the ...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench) is the fifth important cereal crop after wheat (Triticum aestivumL.), maize (Zea maysL.), rice (Oryza sativaL.), and barley (Hordeum vulgareL.) in the world. It is cultivated in about 46 million ha with a total production of 62 million t (FAO 1998). Asia and A...

Fusarium stalk rot is one of the most widespread and destructive diseases of maize, and deployment of resistant genotypes is one of the most effective strategies for controlling the disease. Fifty inbred lines and four checks from the breeding program of the International Institute of Tropical Ag...

The major mycotoxins studied at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Re-search (CGIAR) institutes are aflatoxins in maize, groundnut, sorghum and cassava, Fusa-rium toxins in maize, wheat and sorghum, and ochratoxin in cocoa and cashew. Genetic en-hancement (both through plant bre...

Resistance to anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum graminicola, in sorghum was identified through field screening at two locations (Samanko and Longorola) in Mali. The occurrence and progress of anthracnose were monitored on 19 sorghum lines plus resistant and susceptible checks in the 1996 to 1...
