Narrative
Inbred B85 is a yellow dent inbred line developed from BSCB6(S)C3. BSCB6 (PI 550453 registered in Crop Sci.11:140-141) was first designated Iowa Corn Borer Synthetic No. 6. BSCB6(S)C3 was developed from Pennsylvania Early Synthetic by three cycles of recurrent selection based on S1 line resistance to leaf feeding by the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner) (resistance to first brood of the European corn borer). B85 has an erect-leaf orientation and is single-eared. Pollen production is adequate and silks emerge 3 to 4 days after the first shedding of pollen. The date for silk emergence is 2 days earlier than A632. The ear is relatively small, with 12 to 14 kernel rows, and the seed is intermediate in size with a shallow dent. Inbred B85 is highly resistant to leaf feeding by first brood of the European corn borer; consequently, it is a good source of resistance in an early maturity breeding program. Evaluations in northern Iowa for 4 years have shown that the line contributes good yield and stalk strength to hybrids, but that it contributes poor root strength. Maturity classification is AES500. B85 was evaluated extensively and released because of potential value in breeding programs of the hybrid seed industry.
