Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A major QTL ( qRtsc8 - 1 ) conditioning resistance to tar spot complex of maize and occurring at a frequency of 3.5 % across 890 maize inbred lines. Tar spot complex (TSC) is a highly destructive disease of maize found in some countries in America. Identification of TSC resistant germplasm and elucidating the genetic mechanism of resistance is crucial for the use of host resistance to manage this...
