Abstract:
Physiological processes of maize seeds (Zea mays L var Suwan composite) were found to be affected by five different concentrations (linear relationship between 100 and 2,000 μ/L) of zearalenone and duration of soaking le 20 h. Inhibitions in seed germination (14-58 %), shoot length (16-61 %), root length (9-76 %), total chlorophyll (6-45 %), and carotenoid (5-73 %) were evident due to above treatments.
