Abstract excerpt
Fusarium ear rot, caused by Fusarium verticillioides, is a devastating fungal disease in maize that reduces yield and quality; moreover, F. verticillioides produces fumonisin mycotoxins, which pose serious threats to human and animal health. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) under three environmental conditions and identified 34 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were...
