Mapping Genomic Regions and Identification of Candidate Genes Implicated in Resistance to Southern Corn Rust (SCR) Disease Caused by Puccinia polysora in Maize (Zea mays).

Abstract excerpt

Southern corn rust (SCR) disease caused by Puccinia polysora is emerging as a potential production constraint in maize. To effectively manage the disease, development and deployment of resistant cultivars to SCR is crucial with minimal effects on the environment. Under these premises, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to SCR were detected by using mean disease severity data under artificial...
