Genetic Variation for Resistance to Ear Rots and Mycotoxins Contamination in Early European Maize Inbred Lines
2009-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Ear rots caused by Fusarium spp. are a major concern in many maize (Zea mays L.)–growing regions of the world. Our objectives were (i) to evaluate a set of European maize inbreds for resistance to ear rots and mycotoxin concentrations, (ii) to estimate variance components and heritabilities, and (iii) to compute correlations among resistance traits. Forty-two inbreds were evaluated for resistance to F. graminearum...
