dc.description.abstractMaize lethal necrosis (MLN), a viral disease currently affecting corn in East and Central Africa is caused by a combined infection of Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and any maize infecting potyvirus. Most of African maize germplasm is susceptible to the disease and there are no known sources of resistance. Recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Oh1VI, a line known for multi-virus resistance with different QTL for potyvirus resistance on chromosome 3, 6 and 10 were selected and screened against MLN under artificial inoculation and natural infestation. Differences were observed among genotypes and QTL groups at P=0.05 in all experiments except under field inoculation. Genotypes with QTL combination of 3, 6 and 10 had at least 20% reduction in MLN symptoms compared to a susceptible check. These results provide useful baseline information on utilization of potyvirus resistance genes for MLN resistance and control in Sub Saharan Africa.
