    Corn root morphoanatomy at different development stages and yield under water stress.

    The objective of this work was to characterize the morphoanatomy of roots and the yield traits of two corn hybrids contrasting for drought tolerance (DKB 390, tolerant; and BRS 1030, sensitive), at different stages of development. Water deficit was imposed for ten days, in a greenhouse, at three growth stages: V5, VT, and R3. These treatments were combined to generate cumulative stress during the plant cycle, as: V5VT, V5R3, VTR3, and V5VTR3. The following were analyzed: root anatomy; proportion of aerenchyma in the cortex; metaxylem number and diameter; phloem thickness; as well as morphological characteristics, such as root length, volume, and surface area, specific root length, length of fine roots, grain yield, and ear length and diameter. Development stage affected the responses to stress: DKB 390 showed the best performance for root morphoanatomy and yield traits, under drought stress, at the reproductive stages, mainly R3, and in the treatments with cumulative stress, especially V5VTR3; whereas BRS 1030 presented higher means for the studied parameters, mainly at the V5 and VT stages, but did not show a higher grain yield under water stress. The greater tolerance of the DKB 390 hybrid to water deficit is probably linked with a memory of pre?exposure to water stress at different growth stages

    A incidência de plantas de milho com sintomas de enfezamentos causados por molicutes ou de infecção por vírus foi avaliada em um ensaio com 22 cultivares, plantadas na safrinha e na safra de verão, em diferentes locais nos estados de São Paulo, Goiás e Minas Gerais. Essas avaliações foram feitas a partir da safrinha de 1999 até a safrinha de 2001. Amostras de folhas com sintomas de enfezamentos foram submetidas à extração de DNA e ao teste de PCR, para determinação dos índices de infecção por fitoplasma e por espiroplasma. Amostras de folhas com sintomas de viroses foram submetidas a testes RT-PCR, para confirmação da identificação do vírus. Em geral, a incidência de sintomas de enfezamentos foi maior na safrinha que na safra de verão, exceto no Estado de São Paulo, onde a incidência dessas doenças foi semelhante nas duas épocas de cultivo. A infecção por molicutes foi detectada em 103 amostras, dentre 390 submetidas ao teste de PCR. A infecção simultânea por espiroplasma e por fitoplasma foi detectada em apenas seis dessas amostras. Considerando-se o total de amostras positivas quanto à infecção por molicutes, os níveis de incidência de espiroplasma e de fitoplasma foram semelhantes. Contudo, na safrinha, observou-se que apenas um desses molicutes predominou. Essa predominância foi alternada de espiroplasma na safrinha de 1999, para fitoplasma na safrinha 2000 e espiroplasma na safrinha de 2001. O Maize Rayado Fino Virus (MRFV) e o Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus (MDMV) foram detectados em níveis de incidência variáveis, apenas em alguns locais e safras avaliados, em geral, com níveis de incidência inferiores aos níveis de incidência dos enfezamentos

    Evaluation of high quality protein maize (QPM) hybrids obtained by conversion of normal inbred lines.

    Two experimental QPM hybrids obtained by lhe partial conversion of three elite inbred lines by modified backcrossing were evaluated and compared to the normal versions of the same hybrids. Thirteen agronomic and 12 grain quality traits were evaluated. The hybrids were also anaJyzed by SSR markers in order to evaluate the genetic relationship among them. Results demonstrated that the converted QPM hybrids presented a better protein quality and a similar agronomic performance for most of the evaluated traits, including grain yield, in comparison to their normal versions. However, some of the deficiencies generally ascribed to QPM hybrids, such as a higher lodgíng percentage, thicker cobs, and shorter kernels were maintained up to this stage of the conversion process. In comparison to more recent elite hybrids, the normal versions as well as the converted QPM hybrids presented the worst performances in relation to the grain yield, thus indicating a loss of competitiveness
