Abstract excerpt
European flint landraces are a major class of maize possessing favorable alleles for improving host resistance to Gibberella ear rot (GER) disease which reduces yield and contaminates the grains with mycotoxins. However, the incorporation of these landraces into breeding programs requires a clear understanding of the effectiveness of their introgression into elite materials. We evaluated 15 pre-selected doubled...
