Resumen: | A variety of environmental stress factors increase susceptibility of corn plants to infection with various fungi that produce mycotoxins. These stress factors include insect damage, heat and drought stress, nitrogen deficiency and genetic susceptibility. Biotechnology is being used to develop healthier corn plants by making them less susceptible to drought stress, increasing nitrogen utlisation, and protecting plants against a wider variety of insect pests that feed on the ears, stalks and roots. |
