TELLEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Pilar et al. H-Ame15: New single hybrid transgenic maize, resistant to the fall armyworm and tolerant to herbicides. cultrop [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.4, suppl.1  Epub Dec 30, 2021. ISSN 1819-4087.

The simple maize hybrid H-Ame15 was obtained by the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB, according its acronyms in Spanish) from a cross between the transgenic line L-Moltó and the Cuban commercial line CT9. L-Moltó contributes transgenic events to the hybrid that facilitate its large-scale management by providing resistance to the fall armyworm and tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides. This hybrid also has good productive potential, its plants are tall, with large foliage, with the angle of insertion of the leaf to the stalk almost narrow, the delayed senescence character is present and the cobs are cylindrical with semi-crystalline yellow grains.

Keywords : Zea mays; Spodoptera frugiperda; yield; kernels.
