Abstract excerpt
Genetic mapping projects with maize (Zea mays) have resulted in the identification of numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) that influence resistance to insect herbivores. However, the underlying genetic basis of these QTL has been confirmed in only a small number of cases. Recent advances in genome sequencing, the development of large mapping populations, and advances in reverse genetic approaches will...
