Abstract excerpt
Exserohilum turcicum is the causal agent of northern corn leaf blight, an important disease of maize in China. To investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of this pathogen, 90 isolates from three provinces in China were analyzed using simple sequence repeat markers. Nei's gene diversity values across the three geographical populations ranged from 0.439 to 0.536, with a mean of 0.499....
