A comparative genomics approach to characterize variation within maize lethal necrosis-associated QTL to identify new sources of resistance
Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) remains a significant threat to maize production in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). MLN results from the synergistic infection of maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and any potyvirus, generally sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV). The rapid evolution of viruses highlights the need for continued researc...
