Abstract
A quantitative PCR method was developed for detecting Fusarium graminearum growing in maize callus. Fungal DNA was detected 12Â h after inoculation (detection limit, 0.2Â pg) and was correlated with visual ratings. The method effectively quantified fungal growth in callus overexpressing a peroxidase gene conferring fungal resistance.
