Improving Integrated Pest Management in Sweet Corn System
Corn earworm (CEW), Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a common insect pest of sweet corn in the United States. The larvae cause chewing damage on corn ears rendering them unmarketable. Traditionally, growers have controlled CEW in sweet corn using multiple applications of …

Field Infection Studies on Common Smut of Sweet Corn
The third objective was to determine whether genotypes can be screened for resistance to ear infection by selecting for resistance to stalk and tassel galls. Plants were inoculated by stalk injection and silk channel injection. Incidence of ears with galls was not correlated with severity of stalk …

Genetics, physiology and sensory perception of sweet corn eating quality
… genetics, physiology and sensory perception of sweet corn eating quality. The first study provided preliminary information about which sensory attributes are more important in determining eating quality as well as which kernel characteristics were associated with these sensory attributes. In the …

Sweet corn respiration and carbohydrate metabolism under controlled atmosphere storage
… storage atmosphere and temperature. 'Super Sweet 7210' showed both higher sugar content at the fresh corn stage and better sugar retention during storage. The total sugar content of both genotypes declined during storage at 20$\sp\circ$C, but the sugar concentrations were observed to decline …

Cell cycle parameters and sweet corn emergence and seedling vigor
Sweet corn genotypes containing the shrunken2 (sh2) endosperm mutation are associated with reduced emergence and poor seedling vigor. Shrunken2 genotypes with known differences for field emergence and vigor were used to investigate the contribution of seedling cell division to emergence and …

A study of kernel composition affecting the quality ofshrunken2 sweet corn
… contribute to eating quality in shrunken2 (sh2) sweet corn (Zea mays L.) kernels. In each experiment, the primary focus was on the levels of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), the compound responsible for the characteristic ""corny"" aroma, and sugars (i.e. fructose, glucose, sucrose and total sugar), which …

Pearl Millet Nutritional Quality and Fertilization of Sweet Corn in Senegal
… in Africa, including Senegal. Commercial sweet corn (Zea mays L. ssp. saccharata) production in Senegal is increasing in response to global marketing opportunities and offers producers the ability to increase income and diversify the cropping base. Production of optimum sweet corn yield …

The Relative Efficiency of Replicates in Sweet Corn Hybrid Disease Nurseries and Posterior Probabilities as a Measure of Confidence in Assigning Sweet Corn Hybrids to Disease Reaction Categories
The objectives of this research are to use Monte Carlo methods to determine the effect of replicate number on the absolute and relative ability of disease nurseries to classify hybrids into reaction categories and to calculate posterior probabilities with Bayes' theorem as a measure of confidence …

Empirical Evaluation of Marker -Assisted Selection for Improving Quantitative Traits in Sweet Corn
Results generated from this study suggest that incorporating DNA markers to traditional breeding programs can expedite selection progress and reduce costs. Also, data suggests that beneficial QTL identified in one population can exert similar effects in other genetic backgrounds.

Epidemiology of and resistance to kernel infection of sweet corn by Fusarium moniliforme
Although sweet corn (Zea mays L.) with the shrunken-2 (sh2) endosperm mutation has broad consumer appeal due to its sweet taste and long refrigerator life, its cultivation has been plagued by emergence and seedling vigor problems. The high sucrose content of sh2 kernels, accumulated at the expense …

EFFECTS OF FOOD PROCESSING METHODS ON PHENOLIC ACIDS AND ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY IN SWEET CORN
… the phenolic acid and antioxidant properties of sweet corn. Phenolic acids, such as ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid, are known for their health benefits. The research primarily focuses on two main stages of food processing: post-harvest handling and domestic cooking (boiling and steaming. These …

Clarification of the Genetic Nature of Sugary Enhancer, an Endosperm Character in Sweet Corn
The sugary enhancer (se) gene has been shown to double the kernel sucrose content in sugary-1 (su-1) cultivars when homozygous. Unlike other endosperm mutations, su-1 se kernels are not readily apparent in segregating populations. What is needed is a genetic marker which can readily and easily …

Optimum plant density for crowding stress tolerant processing sweet corn in the Upper Midwest
Advances in grain yield of field corn (Zea mays L.) over the last quarter century have been driven in large part by the ability of modern hybrids to better tolerate higher plant densities (i.e., crowding stress) than their predecessors. Yield gains in processing sweet corn, however, pale in …
