Abstract excerpt
Natural alleles that control multiple disease resistance (MDR) are valuable for crop breeding. However, only one MDR gene has been cloned in maize, and the molecular mechanisms of MDR remain unclear in maize. In this study, through map-based cloning we cloned a teosinte-derived allele of a resistance gene, Mexicana lesion mimic 1 (ZmMM1), which causes a lesion mimic phenotype and confers resistance to northern...
