Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Maydis leaf blight (MLB) is a major foliar fungal disease of maize causing yield losses of up to 40% under favourable conditions. Developing resistant cultivars is the most sustainable management strategy, requiring the identification of stable resistance loci and a better understanding of the genetic architecture underlying MLB resistance across environments. METHODS AND RESULTS: A recombinant inbred...
