Exserohilum turcicum, the causal agent of northern corn leaf blight and sorghum leaf blight, exhibits host-specific interactions at both the species and genotype levels. Although maize- and sorghum-adapted strains are generally restricted to their respective hosts, further specificity is observed in maize through gene-for-gene interactions with Ht resistance genes. In this study, we characterized the infection...
