(...) Quantity and concentration of kernel carbohydrates were not related to infection of kernels by F.m. Asymptomatic infection of kernels by F.m. was less for inbreds with silks that were green and actively growing at inoculation than for inbreds with green-brown or brown silks. Thus, browning and senescence of silks appeared to be important in initiating infection. (...) Infection of kernels by F.m. and carbohydrate content of kernels were related to emergence of sweet corn inbred seedlings, yet much of the variation in emergence was not explained by these variables (...) |
