Diallel analysis of diplopodia ear rot resistance in maize and an assessment of the genetic variability of Stenocarpella maydis through isozyme analysis

Diplodia ear rot (DER) of maize (Zea mays L.) caused by the fungus, Stenocarpella maydis (Berk.) Sutton has increased in incidence in localized fields over the past decade. My research focused on screening for resistance by examining the development of DER following inoculations prior to flowering,...
