Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Maysin and related silk compounds inhibit corn earworm larval growth in resistant corn.
- Observation Chromosome regions associated with corn silk maysin concentration were identified.
- Observation Resistant corn limits fall armyworm damage through leaf composition and toughness.
- Observation High leaf DIMBOA concentration protects certain corn varieties against European corn borer.
- Observation European corn borer resistance was identified in Peruvian corn germplasm and GEM corn collection.
- Observation Some tomato varieties resist Tuta absoluta through antixenosis that interrupts feeding, oviposition and shelter.
- Observation Antibiosis and antixenosis prevent Russian wheat aphid damage in some wheat and barley.
- Observation Six resistant wheat sources each governed by a different single gene were identified.
- Observation Whitefly infestation reduced predator attraction to spider mite infested plants.
- Observation Spider mite and whitefly co-infestation reduced plant (E)-β-ocimene emission.
- Observation Bt expressing potato, maize, cotton and soybean crops had reduced insect infestation.
