Abstract

Maize F 2 populations were constructed by crossing a series of northern leaf blight (NLB, caused by Exserohilum turcicum) susceptible reciprocal translocation stocks with the partially resistant inbred line Mo17, followed by one generation of selfing. Translocation breakpoints were marked with the waxy (wx) recessive gene and F 2 seed were classified as waxy or nonwaxy before planting. F 2 plants inoculated with E. turcicum were evaluated in the field and greenhouse for infection efficiency, incubation period, lesion length, lesion expansion rate, and sporulation (...)
