The weights of 9-d-old larvae ranged from 8 mg on "PI340856" to 952 mg on "PI340855". Silks from about one-third of the popcorn collection produced corn earworm larvae equal to or smaller than larvae that fed on silks of the resistant standard, "Zapalote Chico". Content of maysin, a luteolin-C-glycoside, ranged from zero for eighteen PIs to 1.128% for "PI340856". Significant negative correlations were found T2 - Journal of Economic Entomology ER -
