Introduced in 1902, this became the first widely grown yellow sweet corn. The original strain is now often called 'Golden Bantam 8 Row' to indicate it has 8 rows of kernels on the ear. A number of "improved" strains exist with 12 or more rows of kernels on the ear) [2] Iochief, 80 days (1951 AAS winner) [3]
In Europe and Asia sweet corn is often used as a pizza topping or in salads. Corn on the cob is a sweet corn cob that has been boiled, steamed, or grilled whole; the kernels are then cut off and eaten or eaten directly off the cob. Creamed corn is sweet corn served in a milk or cream sauce.
Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) is a pathogenic plant virus of the family Potyviridae.Depending on the corn plant’s growth stage, the virus can have severe implications to the corn plant’s development which can also result in economic consequences to the producer of the crop.
Leaf spots can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the age and type of the cause or pathogen. Plants, shrubs and trees are weakened by the spots on the leaves as they reduce available foliar space for photosynthesis. Other forms of leaf spot diseases include leaf rust, downy mildew and blights. [4]
The leaves vary in shape from oblong to elliptic or ovate, have rounded points at their apex, and taper towards their base. The inflorescence is composed of a corymbiform cluster of terminal cymes crowded with many yellow flowers that measure 0.8–1.5 cm (0.31–0.59 in) in width. The flowers are star-like in shape and have five petals.
In the U.S. Corn Belt and Ontario, NCLB has recently become a significant disease, [5] causing estimated yield losses of an alarming 74.5 million bushels of grain in 2012 and 132.3 million bushels of grain in 2013. [13] In susceptible varieties of sweet corn, yields can be reduced by up to 20 percent.
In most cases, the wilt phase occurs on seedlings, but for certain corn types (i.e. sweet corn), more mature plants can wilt. The wilt phase is systemic, meaning the majority of the plant is infected via bacterial movement and colonization of the plant's vascular system. When the bacterium spreads within the plant, leaves begin withering and ...
They have cytoplasmic resistance to the T-toxin of Bipolaris maydis (produced by Race T). The absence of a gene found only in plants with Texas male sterile cytoplasm is the reason for this resistance. [1] Corn plants with T-cms cytoplasm have maternally inherited the gene T-urf 13, which encodes for a protein component of the inner ...
