Abstract
Generations derived from crosses between inbred lines were used to ana lyze the genetics of hydroxycinnamic acid accumulation in maize grain and susceptibility to infestation by the maize weevil Sitophilus zeama is. There was a significant negative correlation between phenolic cont ent and susceptibility of the grain to weevil infestation, and the est imates of genetic parameters indicate that a close relationship betwee n those two traits exists.
