Fifty publications on the mapping of maize disease resistance loci were synthesized. These
papers reported the locations of 437 quantitative trait loci (QTL) for disease (dQTL), 17 …

Heritability was originally defined by Lush as the proportion of phenotypic variance among
individuals in a population that is due to heritable genetic effects (Nyquist 1991, p. 248). This …

Disease resistance is essential for reliable maize production. In a long-term tug-of-war
between maize and its pathogenic microbes, naturally occurring resistance genes gradually …

Southern corn rust (SCR), caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia polysora, is a major
threat to maize production worldwide. Efficient breeding and deployment of resistant hybrids …

Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum truncatum, is a major disease problem and
production constraint of lentil in North America. The research was conducted to examine the …

Southern corn rust (SCR), which is caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia polysora
Underw, is a prevalent foliar disease in maize. Breeding for resistant cultivars is a desirable …

Southern corn rust (SCR) caused by Puccinia polysora Underw. is a major disease causing
severe yield losses during maize production. Here, we identified and mapped the SCR …

This chapter presents a selective view of maize disease resistance to fungal diseases,
highlighting some aspects of the subject that are currently of significant interest or that we …

Among various foliar diseases affecting maize yields worldwide, northern corn leaf blight
(NCLB) is economically important. The genetics of resistance was worked out to be …
