GENETIC LOCI ASSOCIATED WITH HEAD SMUT RESISTANCE IN MAIZE

Head smut is one of the most devastating diseases in maize, causing severe yield loss worldwide. The present invention describes the fine-mapping of a major QTL conferring resistance to head smut. Markers useful for breeding, and methods for conferring head smut resistance are described. Nucleic aci...
