Erosion of resistance to common leaf rust in exotic-derived maize during selection for other traits

1990-04-01

Abstract excerpt

A tropical maize X Midwest-adapted sweet corn (su) composite (1R) was examined for changes in resistance to common leaf rust (Puccinia sorghi). Eighty-five randomly chosen S1 families from each of three cycles (0, 5, and 1O yr) in the improvement of 1R were evaluated for susceptibility. To encourage recombination for all traits, four generations of random mating and efforts to reduce natural selection were underta...
