Effect of fungal infestation on the starch, lipids and dry weight of maize seeds.

ABSTRACT :

 

Infestation of 3 maize varieties by 6 dominant maize seed fungi (Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium moniliforme [Gibberella fujikuroi], Penicillium expansum, Rhizopus nigricans [R. stolonifer] and Trichoderma viride) resulted in the reduction in DW, increase in fat acidity and depletion of starch. A. flavus increased fat acidity in Local White variety and Vijay (53.5% and 69.2%, respectively) and P. expansum in VL-16 (74.2%) after 30 d of incubation. Starch depletion was slow during the initial phase of incubation, but became pronounced after 30 d. A. flavus showed max. depletion of starch (48.5%) and A. alternata min. (25.3%). The highest reduction in DW of seeds was caused by A. flavus.
