Abstract
perate and one-half tropical sweet corn, the latter derived from tropical field corns (Brewbaker, 1978). The tropical parents were chosen for their resistance to important diseases (Brewbaker, 1979). These include the seedling, stalk, and kernel rots caused by Fusarium moniliforme Sheld., and maize mosaic virus (MMV) and maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV). Tropical lines also incorporate racially nonspecific tolerance of common rust, southern rust, bacterial leaf blight, northern leaf blight, brown spot, and southern leaf blight. Causal agents are Puccinia sorghi Schw., Puccinia polysora Underw., Pseudomonas avenae Mains, Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) Leonard & Suggs, Physoderma maydis
