Abstract: BACKGROUND Armyworm (Mythimna separata) is a destructive herbivore for maize. Balsas teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis), the direct wild ancestor of cultivated maize, has shown great potential to defend against herbivory. Here, based on armyworm… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.773419
Abstract: Modern maize exhibits a significantly different phenotype than its wild progenitor teosinte despite many genetic similarities. Of the many subspecies of Zea mays identified as teosinte, Zea mays ssp. parviglumis is the most closely related… read more here.

DOI: 10.3958/059.042.0307
Abstract: Abstract. Little is known about parasitoids that attack insect pests on wild host plants, including wild teosintes. Sentinel teosinte plants with eggs of the specialist herbivore pest, the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae),… read more here.
