Comparative transcriptomic analysis indicates genes associated with local and systemic resistance to Colletotrichum graminicola in maize

Abstract The hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum graminicola may cause severe damage to maize, affecting normal development of the plant and decreasing grain yield. In this context, understanding plant defense pathways at the inoculation site and systemically in uninoculated tissues can help in the...
