三个抗若干种食叶性和蛀秆性害虫的玉米新品系的育成,在国际上引起了极大的反响,并有可能使世界玉米的产量大幅度提高。这些抗虫的玉米种质资源是由设在密西西比州的美国农业研究服务局玉米寄主植物抗性研究室的植物育种家和昆虫学家们共同研究培育出来的。1984年,已将这些抗虫玉米品系的种子交给了种子公司进行制种。
Three new maize lines resistant to several leaf-decaying and borer pests have elicited great international repercussions and have the potential to dramatically increase the world’s maize production. These insect-resistant maize germplasm were cultivated by plant breeders and entomologists from the MAO Plant Resistance Laboratory at the U.S. Agricultural Research Service in Mississippi. In 1984, the seeds of these insect-resistant maize lines were handed over to seed companies for seed production.
