Abstract
Amylose content, but not kernel weight or content of starch, free sugar and protein, differed significantly between WxWxWx, WxWxwx, Wxwxwx and wxwxwx endosperm genotypes. Acetaldehyde and propanol percentages in the wine produced from the grain differed significantly between the wxwxwx endosperm type and the other three types; wine production and other wine constituents were not affected by genotype. Eight of 106 cultivars and lines tested under natural infestation were resistant to Melanaphis sacchari. Results of genetic tests indicated that resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene. Content of epicuticular wax in leaves appeared to be related to aphid resistance
