Özet
Ustilago maydis (DC) Corda, the causal agent of maize smut disease, can formenormous galls on cobs and cause significant yield losses under favorableconditions. In addition to yield losses, U. maydis may have an influence on thekernel quality in smutted cobs. The aim of this study was to determine presence of mycoflora on the cobs infected by U. maydis. A 2-year field experimentwas conducted in Antalya Province. In the study, some maize cultivars belonging to various maize variety groups including dent corn, flint corn, sweet cornand popcorn were used as host plants. Inoculations were performed by injecting inoculum into ear silk of each cob of the plants in inoculated plots. Foreach treatment, control plots were also set up. When the kernels of cobs incontrol plots were mature enough to harvest, kernel samples in inoculated plotswere taken from smutted cobs and investigated in terms of fungal flora. A totalof 6 genera (Paecilomyces, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Acremonium, Fusarium,Rhizopus) were detected from the kernels in the smutted cobs. However, frequently isolated species were Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, A. parasiticus(A. flavus), Paecilomyces lilacinus, Penicillium citrinum, Fusarium solani, F.oxysporum and Rhizopus stolonifer. The most frequently isolated genus wasAspergillus (31.4%), while the lowest one was Penicillium (6.4%). The studyshowed that U. maydis may affect kernel quality of maize by harboring somefungal microorganisms in smutted cobs.
