Abstract excerpt
Southern leaf blight (SLB) and northern leaf blight (NLB) are the two major foliar diseases limiting maize production worldwide. Upon previous study with the nested association mapping (NAM) population, which consist of 5,000 recombinant inbred lines from 25 parents crossed with B73, we expanded the phenotyping environments from the United States (US) to China, and increased the marker densities from 1106 to 7386...
