Sources of resistance to the asian corn borer [ostrinia furnacalis (Guenee)] in Philippine’s traditional maize varieties

Abstract

© Society for the Advancement of Breeding Research in Asia and Oceania (SABRAO) 2018. For native or traditional corn there has been no breeding program in the Philippines which included Asian corn borer resistance. With the rich genetic diversity of native corn populations or accessions, sources of resistance may be available. There were 3, 12 and 13 superior traditional varieties identified for field, leaf-feeding and stalk-feeding resistance, respectively. Positive correlation was identified among these 3 insect resistance traits. The resistant materials can be used as donor parents for breeding Philippine’s traditional corn for improved resistance.
