Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Maize white spot (MWS) is a highly destructive leaf disease and has become a major threat to global maize production in recent years. This indicates that identifying new anti-MWS genes is of vital importance. In this study, two recombinant inbred line (RIL) subpopulations derived from Suwan germplasms with MWS resistance were used. RESULTS: By integrating quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and...
