Highly resistant reaction to foliar damage by the borer throughout the three infestation periods was observed on the transgenic plants compared to an equivalent non -Bt hybrid and a local check variety, Supersweet corn. Significantly reduced number and length of borer tunnels in the stalk and the length of tunneling in the ear shank of the transgenic plants were also observed.Collection: CIMMYT Publications Collection
