Multi-Omics Analysis of White Leaf Spot in Maize Resistance: Integrated GWAS, BSA-Seq, and RNA-Seq Identifies Candidate Genes and Facilitates Germplasm Evaluation
The epidemic expansion of maize white leaf spot (WLS) is a substantial threat to the secure and sustained production of maize. Given its diversity and strong environmental adaptability, WLS has the potential to emerge as a globally prevalent disease affecting maize crops. A detailed exploration of genetic segments and...
