Ames Geneticist Probes Wild Host Link To Corn Wilt
Dr. E. J. Wellhausen of Ames argues wild grasses and insects may trigger bacterial wilt epidemics in cornstalks. His research shows wilt bacteria gain virulence on resistant plants and weaken on susceptible hosts, with wild hosts potentially sparking outbreaks before corn is affected. He notes cob color and maturity correlate with resistance, while tube size and number in plants show little effect.
