Colonization (based on ergosterol) (A), fumonisin accumulation (B) and conidiation as a function of fungal biomass as measured through ergosterol (C) on wild‐type (B73) and lox3 mutant maize kernels inoculated with wild‐type (FvWT) and oxylipin‐deficient (ΔFvlds1D) Fusarium verticillioides strains at 6 and 9 days post‐inoculation (dpi). Error bars indicate ± standard error (SE). The same letters above the histograms denote insignificant differences between means of the treatments within the same time point, resulting from Tukey's honestly significant difference test (P < 0.05).
