Increased experimental conditions and marker densities identified more genetic loci associated with southern and northern leaf blight resistance in maize

Abstract Southern leaf blight (SLB) and northern leaf blight (NLB) are the two major foliar diseases limiting maize production worldwide. Upon previous study with the nested association mapping (NAM) population, which consist of 5,000 recombinant inbred lines from 25 parents crossed with B73, we exp...
