Use of Ipm in the Control of Multiple Diseases in Maize: Strategies for Selection of Host Resistance
Maize (Zea mays) production in sub-Saharan Africa is constantly threatened by the potential outbreak of multiple foliar diseases such as maize streak, northern leaf blight, gray leaf spot, and rust. Improvement of host resistance to these diseases can provide an important component of integrated pest management (IPM). In this paper, conventional and molecular marker-assisted breeding approaches...
متن کاملThe durable wheat disease resistance gene Lr34 confers common rust and northern corn leaf blight resistance in maize
Maize (corn) is one of the most widely grown cereal crops globally. Fungal diseases of maize cause significant economic damage by reducing maize yields and by increasing input costs for disease management. The most sustainable control of maize diseases is through the release and planting of maize cultivars with durable disease resistance. The wheat gene Lr34 provides durable and partial field r...
متن کاملReactions of Open-Pollinated Sweet Corn Cultivars to Stewart’s Wilt, Common Rust, Northern Leaf Blight, and Southern Leaf Blight
The first commercially successful F1 hybrid sweet corn, Golden Cross Bantam, was released by Smith in the early 1930s (17). Today, over 600 sweet corn hybrids are available commercially in the United States and thousands of new hybrids are developed and evaluated each year. These hybrids display a wide range of phenotypic reactions to prevalent diseases (9), indicating a considerable amount of ...
متن کاملQuantitative Trait Loci in Sweet Corn Associated with Partial Resistance to Stewart's Wilt, Northern Corn Leaf Blight, and Common Rust.
ABSTRACT Partial resistance to Stewart's wilt (Erwina stewartii, syn. Pantoea stewartii), northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) (Exserohilum turcicum), and common rust (Puccinia sorghi) was observed in an F(2:3) population developed from a cross between the inbred sweet corn lines IL731a and W6786. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with partial resi...
متن کاملThe selection response of a complex maize population improved primarily for quantitative disease resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB) and secondarily for common rust resistance and agronomic phenotypes
The selection response of a complex maize population improved primarily for quantitative disease resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB) and secondarily for common rust resistance and agronomic phenotypes was investigated at the molecular genetic level. A tiered marker analysis with 151 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in 90 individuals of the population indicated that on average six allel...
