Popis: | Five inbred maize ( Zea mays L.) lines (B37, B73, C103, Mo17, and 41:2504B) were evaluated from emergence to the eight-leaf stage for corn leaf aphid ( Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch)) colonization. Concentration of 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxyl-l,4-benzoxazin-3- one (DIMBOA) in these inbred lines was analyzed from emergence to anthesis to determine its effect on corn leaf aphid colony development. Inbred line 41:2504B, which was colonized by corn leaf aphids as it emerged from the soil, had the highest DIMBOA concentration. Inbred lines B73 and B37 were low in DIMBOA and were colonized in the three- and six-leaf stages, respectively. Inbred lines C103 and Mo17 also were low in DIMBOA and supported small colonies after the six- and seven-leaf stages, respectively. Contrary to findings of previous studies, DIMBOA does not seem to be the primary factor conditioning resistance to the corn leaf aphid in these inbreds. |
