ZmWAK, a quantitative resistance gene to head smut in maize, improves yield performance by reducing the endophytic pathogen Sporisorium reiliana

2015-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Head smut is a soil-borne systemic maize disease caused by the causal pathogen Sporisorium reiliana. ZmWAK is the gene within the major QTL qHSR1 conferring resistance to head smut disease. ZmWAK has been transferred by marker-assisted backcrossing into elite inbred lines with high-yield potential but susceptible to head smut. The converted inbred lines, together with their hybrids, were grown in 2012 and 2013 to...
