Abstract excerpt
Quantitative disease resistance in plants emerges from complex interactions between host tissues and pathogen growth dynamics, producing a spectrum of phenotypic responses. In plant-fungal interactions, disease is most visibly expressed through lesions that vary in number, size, shape, and color, collectively defining a lesion profile. For Cochliobolus heterostrophus, a fungus causing Southern Corn Leaf Blight of...
