2025-06-24
Abstract excerpt
The fungal maize pathogen Exserohilum turcicum , the causative agent of Northern Corn Leaf Blight (NCLB) was introduced to Europe in the late 19th century, E. turcicum where it rapidly expanded. It persisted in four major clonal lineages and multiple physiological races, defined by their interactions with maize disease resistance genes. In a metagenomic survey of natural infections on the susceptible traditional...
