The Influence of Temperature, Nutritional Medium, and Storage Duration on the Regulation of Fumonisin Toxicity in Maize
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Fusarium proliferatum is the etiological factor of a destructive disease. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Tests were conducted. established with the swift detection of F. proliferatum. produce Fumonisins B1, These have been identified as natural pollutants in diseased plants. FB1 Mycotoxins are predominantly generated by F. proliferatum regarding maize. These mycotoxins that are are secondary carcinogen products. that possess a global allocation. This investigation was conducted by assess The proposed correlation within, types of culturing medium, Temperature variables, and period of culturing. F. proliferatum was determined using Polymerase Chain Reaction PCR and quantity with FB1 using HPLC analysis. Results indicated that mycotoxin FB1 in potato dextrose agar medium produced higher levels at a temperature of 25C° compared to temperatures of 20C° and 30C° and a growth period of 21 d compared to 14 and 28 d.
