Genetic Analysis Of Resistance To European Corn Borer (Ostrinia Nubllalls Hub. Lepidoptera:Crambidae) Damage In Eight Maize Germplasm, Cengis Ikten, John E. Foster
Genetic Analysis Of Resistance To European Corn Borer (Ostrinia Nubllalls Hub. Lepidoptera:Crambidae) Damage In Eight Maize Germplasm, Cengis Ikten, John E. Foster
Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications
The inheritance of resistance to Oslrinia nubilalis (ECB) damage in eight breeding maize lines was studied by Griffing's diallel analysis (Griffing 1956) under two water regimes. One hundred fifty neonate larvae of second generation of ECB were infested around ear node of maize germplasm and approximately two months later, the potentials of the germplasm were determined by measuring stalk and shank tunneling damage in plants. General combining ability (GCA) was more important than specific combining ability (SCA) in determining resistance to both stalk and shank tunneling. Although mean squares for GCA accounted for 76.1% of the variation for stalk tunneling …
