Phenotypic investigation of two maize lines at pre-harvest and post-harvest times. a. Harvested ears of AF99 and AF32 inoculated by A. flavus spore suspension at pre-harvest time (15 days after pollination). b. Lesion length of ears in AF99 and AF32.Values are means ± SE; n = 15; *** Significant difference by T-test (P < 0.001). c. Maize kernels of AF99 and AF32 co-incubated with the fungal plate at post-harvest time. d. RAI score of kernels in AF99 and AF32. RAI score indicates the proportion of hyphae and spores covering the kernel surface. Values are means ± SE; n = 60; *** Significant difference by T-test (P < 0.001)
