Genome-wide association study of Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) resistance using temperate and subtropical maize recombinant inbred lines
This study identifies two candidate genes associated with NCLB resistance through a genome-wide association analysis using 529 recombinant inbred lines evaluated across subtropical and tropical environments. The candidate genes were further validated through preliminary qRT-PCR analysis. These findings provide valuable genomic resources for breeding NCLB-resistant maize varieties and enhances our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying NCLB resistance in maize.
