Breeding for resistance to European corn borer
1989
Grace, V. (Cargill Seed Division, Minneapolis, MN (USA))
Breeding and selection methodologies used at Cornell University to develop maize inbreds, composites, and populations resistant to leaf feeding and stalk boring by the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner, are described. The breeding techniques used include full-sib recurrent selection, modified backcrossing, S1 by tester selection, and selfing. Resistance to anthracnose stalk rot caused by Colletotrichum graminicola and stalk borers in the genus Diatraea are also available in some of the ECB resistant selections.
