Narrative
Source of antibiosis resistance to the corn earworm, because of high concentration (1.6-1.9% on a dry weight basis) of maysin in silks (8-9 times the amount necessary to have an impact on insect development). Ears with red cobs and purple kernels of flinty or popcorn type. Reaches pollen shed and silking at 52-55 days after planting. Maysin content highly heritable and the trait is easily transferred to elite lines.
