Abstract
Infected sweet corn seed may increase the incidence of seedling blight and contribute to systemic infection of plants. Inbreds of field or dent corn also had kernels infected with <italic>F. moniliforme</italic>. Although <italic>F. moniliforme</italic> causes a kernel rot, the pathogen is often found in healthy kernels that appear to be physically undamaged. Sweet corn inbreds have been identified that exhibit partial resistance to kernel infection by <italic>F. moniliforme</italic> and good emergence. The work described a genetically diverse set of sweet corn inbreds for seedling emergence to <italic>F. moniliforme</italic> infection with either su1, se1 and sh2 endorsperm mutations. There were second resistance mode after <italic>F. moniliforme</italic> infection, in some cases, <italic>F. moniliforme</italic> even stimulated the germination.
