Introgresión de fuentes de resistencia a roya común y tizón foliar en líneas endocriadas de maíz (Zea mays l.)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide and is affected by several pathogens that put productivity and grain quality at risk. Common rust (Puccinia sorghi) and northern corn leaf blight (Exserohilum turcicum) are among the most important diseases affecting maize at the Corn Belt region of Argentina. The aim of the present work was to characterize the potential of four maize landraces (ARZM05074, ARZM08096, ARZM13057 (resistant ones) and ARZM04044 (susceptible)) as donors of favorable alleles to improve disease resistance to both pathogens. In 2018/2019 landraces were crossed to three inbreed lines, used as a female parent (LP29 (resistant), LP221 (moderately resistant) and LP2542 (susceptible)). In 2019/2020 the G1 crosses (population×inbred), were evaluated under infection with P. sorghi and E. turcicum. A diallel analysis of G1 displayed important GCA values revealing that additive genetic effects were predominant for both traits. Indeed, ARZM05074 stands out as potential donor of favorable alleles for disease resistance to P. sorghi and E. turcicum. The results presented here would help to broaden the genetic base of maize breeding programs and to achieve food security in a sustainable manner. Further research should be conducted in a broader environmental range.
