Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Powdery mildew is a major disease that causes great losses in soybean yield and seed quality. Disease-resistant varieties, which are generated by reducing the impact of susceptibility genes through mutation in host plants, would be an effective approach to protect crops from this disease. The Mildew Locus O (MLO) genes are well-known susceptibility genes for powdery mildew in plant. In this study, we...
