Gaining insights into genomic regions associated with Chilo partellus resistance in teosinte-derived maize population
These QTLs can be used in marker-assisted breeding to develop hybrids resistant to <i>C. partellus</i>. Based on a literature review, we believe that our study offers a pioneering report on identifying the QTLs associated with <i>C. partellus</i> resistance in maize varieties in Asia. The findings of this study are expected to be of use in the future for fine mapping, expression analyses, and marker tag development for marker-assisted selection aimed at improving maize resistance to pests.
