Fine analysis of a genomic region involved in resistance to Mediterranean corn borer

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvere (Mediterranean corn borer, MCB) is the main pest of maize in the Mediterranean area. QTL for MCB stalk tunneling and grain yield under high MCB infestation had been located at bin 8.03–8.05 (4–21 cM and 10–30 cM ...

The opinions of first adopters in the introduction of Bt maize in Spain: A success story

Agricultural Economics (AGRICECON)
Spain is one of the few EU countries that adopted genetically modified maize as a crop (1998) and has continued to harvest it ever since. This article aims to contribute to the history of the adoption of transgenic maize in the EU, where the ...

QTL mapping for Mediterranean corn borer resistance in European flint germplasm using recombinant inbred lines

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Ostrinia nubilalis (ECB) and Sesamia nonagrioides (MCB) are two maize stem borers which cause important losses in temperate maize production, but QTL analyses for corn borer resistance were mostly restricted to ECB resistance and maize ...

Origin and taxonomic status of the Palearctic population of the stem borer Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

, 2011
The major pest of maize in Mediterranean Europe, the stem borer Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), has a fragmented distribution, north and south of the Sahara. The present study aimed: (1) to clarify the uncertain taxonomic status

Ear resistance of sweet corn populations to Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) and Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera:Pyralidae)

, 1999
Corn borers are the main pests of maize, Zea mays L., in temperate areas. In Spain and other Mediterranean countries, the principal corn borer is Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvre, although the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), is also an ...

Identification and pathogenicity of bacteria in the Mediterranean corn borer Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvre (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

, 2015
Sesamia nonagrioides (Lep.: Noctuidae) is one of the most serious pests of corn in Turkey and other Mediterranean countries. Although various cultural, chemical, and biological methods are used to control this pest, its damage still continues in all ...

Influencia de la planta de maíz en el apareamiento de "Sesamia nonagrioides" Lefèbvre (Lepidóptera: Noctuidae)

, 1999
Las pruebas de laboratorio demuestran que la planta de maíz no es necesaria para el apareamiento de Sesamia nonagrioides, ni en lo referente a la secuencia del comportamiento de cortejo ni en el porcentaje de apareamiento resultante. Las pruebas de campo
