Aflatoxin production in crosses of two non-stiff stalk (A, PHW79 or 79; and B, LH210 or 210) and two stiff stalk (C, LH195 or 195; and D, LH197 or 197) elite inbred lines with aflM14 (homozygous and null) or aflM16 (homozygous and null) lines under field inoculation conditions. At least eight ears per treatment were collected. Kernels from each half ear were ground and three subsamples were analyzed for aflatoxin levels using HPLC. The aflatoxin data of elite line crossing with nulls were a combined data from elite line crossing with both aflM14N and aflM16N. Data presented here are the mean and standard errors of at least 24 replicates of each cross. Bars with the same letter were not significantly different at P ≤ 0.05. All of the analyses were done using non-transformed raw data except those from PHW79 × aflM16H and PHW79 × aflM16N, which were log transformed to reduce sample variation.
