Transgenic maize plants expressing the Totivirus antifungal protein, KP4, are highly resistant to corn smut.
The corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, is a global pathogen responsible for extensive agricultural losses. Control of corn smut using traditional breeding has met with limited success because natural resistance to U. maydis is organ specific and involves numerous maize genes. Here, we present a transgenic approach by constitutively expressing the Totivirus antifungal protein KP4, in maize. Tran...
متن کاملSilk Maysin Content and Resistance of Commercial Corn [ Maize ] Hybrids to Kernel Contamination by Aflatoxin
Several phenols and related compounds have been shown to have detrimental effects on insects while others have antibiotic activity against fungi which attack higher plants. Insects have also been implicated as contributors to preharvest contamination of corn [maize], Zea mays L, by aflatoxin. The objectives, therefore, were to determine (a) if commercial corn hybrids vary in their silk maysin c...
متن کاملReactions of Sweet Corn Hybrids with Resistance to Maize Dwarf Mosaic
Yield and ear quality of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) can be reduced by maize dwarf mosaic (MDM). When Janson and Ellett (6) first reported the disease from southern Ohio, they observed nearly total losses in fields of late-planted sweet corn. Yield reduction due to MDM and symptom expression are affected by the growth stage at which sweet corn is infected (5,12, 18,25). When late plantings of swee...
متن کاملAssessment Maize Hybrids Response to Biological and Chemical Nitrogen Fertilizers
This research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. To this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. Main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...
متن کاملSelecting Corn Hybrids
Corn is physiologically mature when kernels reach maximum dry weight and are safe from frost. All milky fluid disappears from the kernel, and the black layer, a dark layer of cells, forms near the tip of mature kernels. Most hybrids adapted to Wisconsin reach this stage when kernel moisture decreases to 30–32%, but it may not occur until moisture content decreases to 28% for some early hybrids....
