Genetic variation for maysin and its analogues in crosses among corn inbreds.

From: Crop Science | Date: March 1, 1998| Author: Snook, M.E.; Widstrom, N.W. | Copyright information

The isolation and identification of maysin and two of its analogues, 3'-methoxymaysin and apimaysin (3'M + A), in the silks of corn, Zea mays L., has given plant breeders a mew tool for reducing damage by larvae of the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie). This study was initiated to examine the inheritance of these compounds so that a logical course for developing germplasm with high concentrations can be determined. Incorporation of the compounds into corn hybrids for the southern USA can...

Genetic variation for maysin and its analogues in crosses among corn inbreds.
Crop Science ; The corn earworm is a devastating insect pest on corn and other crops in the southern USA. Since the discovery of maysin, a C-glycosylflavone, in the silks of corn (Waiss et al., 1979), renewed efforts have been initiated to reduce the damage by this pest. Maysin was demonstrated to have antibiotic
