Mean ± standard error of the differences in C content (%) of maize stem piths between the infection/infestation treatments (FV, Fusarium verticillioides-inoculated; SN, Sesamia nonagrioides-infested; FS, Fusarium-inoculated and Sesamia-infested) and the untreated control (UC, no Fusarium, no Sesamia). Within a given treatment, different lowercase letters show differences (p < 0.05) between inbreds resistant (light boxes) and susceptible (dark boxes) to F. verticillioides. Within an inbred group, different uppercase letters show differences (p < 0.05) between treatments
