Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This manuscript provides genome-level analysis of disease resistance genes in four maize lines, including studies of haplotype and resistance gene number as well as selection and recombination. The Rp1 locus of maize is a complex resistance gene (R-gene) cluster that confers race-specific resistance to Puccinia sorghi, the causal agent of common leaf rust. Rp1 NB-LRR disease resistance genes were...
