摘要： Pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination occurs in maize following kernel colonization by Aspergillus flavus. Aflatoxin contamination resistance is a highly desired trait in maize breeding programs. The identification of novel sources of resistance to pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination is a major focus in germplasm screening efforts. Here, we performed a field evaluation of 64 inbred lines over two years for pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination. Toperosses were also performed with two testers, B73 and Mo17, to generate 128 F-1 hybrids which were also evaluated over two years. Hybrid performance was used to calculate both general combining ability (GCA) of the inbreds, and observed heterosis for aflatoxin resistance. Over both years of the study, aflatoxin concentrations ranged from 80 +/- 47 to 17,617 +/- 8816 mu g kg(-1) for inbreds, and from 58 +/- 39 to 2771 +/- 780 mu g kg(-1) for hybrids with significant variation between years and lines. The inbred lines CML52, CML69, CML247, CT-603, GEMS-0005, Hi63, Hp301, and M37 W showed <1000 p g kg(-1) of aflatoxin accumulation in both years of the study and less than the resistant check, Mp313E, in at least one season. Among these, CML52, CT-603, and Hi63 also showed significant GCA with the testers in hybrid progeny. CML52, CT-603, and M37 W also showed heterotic effects of-13.64%, -12.47%, and- 24.50%, respectively, with B73 resulting in reduced aflatoxin contamination. CT 603 also showed a similar heterotic effect for aflatoxin contamination,-13.11%, with Mo17 indicating that this line may serve as a versatile source of aflatoxin contamination resistance in breeding programs.
