Abstract excerpt
Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), a corn disease infected by Exserohilum turcicum, can cause loss of harvest and economy. Identification or evaluation of NCLB-resistant quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genes could improve maize breeds. This study aimed to identify novel QTLs for NCLB-resistance.Two maize strains (BB and BC) were utilized to generate B73 × B97 and B73 × CML322 and constructed the genetic linkage...
