Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The efficiency of marker-assisted selection for native resistance to European corn borer stalk damage can be increased when progressing from a QTL-based towards a genome-wide approach. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been shown to be effective in improving resistance to the European corn borer (ECB) in maize. In this study, we investigated the performance of whole-genome-based selection, relative...
