Identification of Teosinte Alleles for Resistance to Southern Leaf Blight in Near Isogenic Maize Lines
2017-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Southern leaf blight ([SLB], causal agent Cochliobolus heterostrophus) is an important fungal disease of maize (Zea mays L.). Teosinte (Z. mays ssp. parviglumis), the wild progenitor of maize, offers a novel source of resistance alleles that may have been lost during domestication. The aims of this study were to identify teosinte alleles that, when present in a temperate maize background, confer a significant leve...
