Non-genetic variation limits the identification of novel maize germplasm with genetic markers for reduced Aspergillus flavus infection and aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin measurements can vary substantially within fields containing the same germplasm following inoculation with A. flavus. While some variation is expected due to microenvironmental differences, components of field screening methodologies may also contribute to variability in collected data. Therefore, the objective of this study is to test the effects of three different shelling methods (whole ear (WE), ear end removal (EER), and inoculation site-surrounding (ISS)) to obtain bulk samples from maize on aflatoxin measurements. Five ears per row of three inbred lines and two hybrids were inoculated with A. flavus, then shelled using the three different methods, and aflatoxin was quantified. Overall, EER and ISS resulted in reduced coefficients of variance (CVs) in comparison to WE for both inbred and hybrid maize lines, with two exceptions. Susceptible B73 showed increased CVs with both EER and ISS compared to WE, and resistant Mp719’s EER CVs marginally increased compared to WE. While WE is the standard practice for most breeding programs due to its technical simplicity, EER and ISS may allow for finely phenotyping parental lines for further breeding applications. |
