We used a systems genetics approach to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the
responses of maize to grey leaf spot (GLS) disease caused by Cercospora zeina, a threat to …

Plant root systems play a pivotal role in plant physiology and exhibit diverse phenotypic
traits. Understanding the genetic mechanisms governing root growth and development in …
