2004-06-01
Abstract excerpt
'Mal de Rio Cuarto' (MRC) disease, caused by a member of the family Reoviridae belonging to the genus Fijivirus, is considered to be the most damaging viral disease of maize (Zea mays L.) in Argentina. Resistance to MRC disease is a quantitative trait with moderate heritability ranging from 0.44 to 0.56. The objective of this study was to identify simple sequence repeats (SSR) loci linked to quantitative trait loc...
