Combining Ability of Husk Extension, Maysin Content, and Corn Earworm Resistance
Resource Description
Researchers explored the impact of husk extension and maysin presence on corn earworm resistance in sweet corn cultivars. Although the relationships were inconsistent, five specific inbreds yielded hybrids with significantly reduced corn earworm infestation, indicating potential for resistance.
