Effects of qNLB1.06 Tx303 and qNLB1.02 B73 in the field. (A) Different levels of NLB resistance in B73, Tx303, TBBC3-38-05F (the NIL carrying qNLB1.06 Tx303 ), and TBBC3-42-10E-02 (the NIL carrying qNLB1.02 Tx303 , which is essentially "replacement of qNLB1.02 B73 "). The photographs were taken in Aurora NY, 2008, on the 7th leaves at 28 days after inoculation. (B) Replacement of the B73 allele with the Tx303 allele at bin 1.02 largely increased the susceptibility to NLB. The photograph was taken in Aurora NY, 2008, at 68 days after inoculation. The comparison between B73 and TBBC3-38-05F is not shown because their difference in DLA (< 10%) is not differentiable in photographs.
