The objective of this study was to understand the genetic basis for Asian corn borer resistance. The study included 162 F2：3 populations derived from Mc37 （resistant） × Zi330 （susceptible） and field data were collected in 2004 and 2005. A linkage map was constructed from 118 SSR markers. Combined quantitative trait loci （QTL） analysis combined across environments was performed by composite interval mapping method （CIM）. Four QTLs with additive effects were detected for resistance to Asian corn borer leaf feeding damage in chromosome bins 1.08, 2.04/05, 4.01, and 10.04. Three putative QTLs were detected for Asian corn borer stalk damage in chromosome bins 1.01, 2.05, and 9.01. Maize resistance to Asian corn borer and European corn borer, O. nubilalis （Hubner）, may share a common mechanism. Genes responsible for DIMBOA biosynthesis are in chromosome bin 4.01 and may increase the observed resistance to Asian corn borer leaf feeding.展开更多

Nineteen volatile chemicals, with terpenes being the major components, were identified from maize plants attacked by third instar Asian corn borer larvae. Coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection （GC-EAD） analyses revealed some electroantennographic differences between female and male Asian corn borer antennae in response to larvae-induced maize volatiles; female responded to （E）-2-hexenal, nonanal, （Z）-3-hexen-l-ol and three unknown compounds while the male only responded to （E）-2-hexenal, nonanal and one unknown compound. In laboratory orientation bioassays, Asian corn borer neonate larvae were attracted to extracts collected from Asian corn borer-damaged plants as well as to synthetic farnesene, but were repelled by （Z）-3-hexen- 1 -ol. In laboratory oviposition bioassays, gravid females laid fewer eggs on plants damaged by larvae than on mechanically damaged plants or undamaged plants. Adult Asian corn borer females deposited fewer eggs on wax paper treated with （E）-2-hexenal or （Z）-3-hexen-l-ol than on wax paper treated with hexane （control）. The results suggest that Asian corn borer can affect the behaviors of conspecific larvae and adults by changing host plant volatiles.展开更多
