Description:
OhMCMV-1 (C1) is a synthetic maize population with elite resistance to MCMV, SCMV, and MLN. OhMCMV-1 was derived from five inbred lines: N211, KS23-5, KS23-6, Oh1VI, and DR and one complete cycle of S1 recurrent selection was performed. Three hundred cycle-0 S1 lines were evaluated for resistance to MCMV and 25 of the most resistant lines were intermated. A balanced composite population was developed from the intermated ears and random mated to form the OhMCMV-1 (C1) synthetic population.
