Gray leaf spot disease (caused by Cercospora zeae-maydis Tehon and Daniels) of maize (Zea mays L.) has the potential to become an important problem in U.S. maize production. Inheritance of resistance in maize to gray leaf spot disease was investigated using plant ratings from three experiments in naturally occurring field epiphytotics: Generation mean analysis of four populations, diallel analysis of all possible single crosses, and correlation comparison between 16 inbreds per se and their crosses with a common parent. Plants were rated just prior to leaf death on a plot basis utilizing a scale of 1 (resistant) to 5 (susceptible). In the generation mean
