Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Two novel QTLs conferring Fusarium stalk rot resistance were identified in the Kemater flint landrace population, thereby broadening the genetic base for FSR resistance breeding. Given the polygenic inheritance of Fusarium stalk rot resistance, genomic selection could be explored as a potential strategy for improving resistance to stalk rot in maize. Fusarium stalk rot (FSR) is one of the most...
