Fusarium ear rot (FER) and fumonisin accumulation in maize, caused by Fusarium verticillioides, can lead to lower grain quality, crop yield reduction and mycotoxicosis of humans and livestock. The best approach to control this fungus is through the development of resistant maize varieties, however, no immune cultivars are available with commercial cultivars ranging from susceptible to moderately resistant...
Fusarium verticillioides is most frequently associated with maize in South Africa. It colonises maize roots, stems and ears endophytically and causes diseases such as Fusarium ear rot (FER) and stalk rot.

It is, however, unknown whether endophytic and pathogenic isolates from distinct...
