Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A novel locus was discovered on chromosome 7 associated with a lesion mimic in maize; this lesion mimic had a quantitative and heritable phenotype and was predicted better via subset genomic markers than whole genome markers across diverse environments. Lesion mimics are a phenotype of leaf micro-spotting in maize (Zea mays L.), which can be early signs of biotic or abiotic stresses. Dissecting its...
