Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: High genetic variation in two European maize landraces can be harnessed to improve Gibberella ear rot resistance by integrated genomic tools. Fusarium graminearum (Fg) causes Gibberella ear rot (GER) in maize leading to yield reduction and contamination of grains with several mycotoxins. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of GER resistance among 500 doubled haploid lines derived from...
