Genome-wide association study reveals a set of genes associated with resistance to the Mediterranean corn borer (Sesamia nonagrioides L.) in a maize diversity …
Background Corn borers are the primary maize pest; their feeding on the pith results in stem
damage and yield losses. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study …
