Inoculation of Fusarium moniliforme in ears of corn milky and doughy.

Abstract
Two ears of corn infected with Fusarium moniliforme grains contained in its initial
state milky grains cob has a white to pink over the surface, then so does cob
dough stage is installed, then the fungus develops and form a mycelium white,
that can be easily observed on or between the grains. In the milky cob, grain
dehydration occurs and thus the mold that becomes a pink color, cob pasty in
these changes is seen a little later. On the crown of apparently healthy grains
whitish longitudinal grooves are formed small air canaliculi between testa and
pericarp, as a result of the action of the pathogen can be distinguished. Fusarium
moniliforme can issue mycotoxins, which can be harmful to human health and
animals. The results obtained through observations, installed for a week, show
the formation of white rust to pale gray, cottony or powdery develops on or
between infected kernels. Besides this the grains can germinate while still on the
cob (premature germination) when the infection is late, grains show streaks in
the pericarp. This happens because the infection of F. moniliforme occurs
between the phases of a pasty milky where it acquires a symptom of decay pink
or reddish brown beans.
