Abstract excerpt
Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by Setosphaeria turcica, is a major foliar disease of maize. To dissect the genetic basis of NCLB resistance in breeding-relevant germplasm, we evaluated NCLB severity in a panel of 500 commercial maize hybrids under natural disease pressure over a single growing season. High-throughput genotyping generated densely distributed SNP markers. The stratification of the panel...
