Resistance to Kernel Infection by Fusarium moniliforme in Inbred Lines of Sweet Corn and the Effect of Infection on Emergence

Kernels from silk-inoculated and noninoculated sweet corn ears were evaluated for incidence of symptomatic infection of kernels by Fusarium monoliforme (i.e., the percentage of kernels showing signs or symptoms of F. moniliforme), incidence of asymptomatic infection of kernels, and emergence. A total of 138 inbreds were evaluated in at least 1 yr, and 17 were evaluated in each of 3 yr (...)
