  • Publication number: 20240357985
    Abstract: Corn plants exhibiting broad-spectrum resistance to Exserohilum turcicum are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a Exserohilum turcicum resistance phenotype. Such plants include sweet corn plants as well as agronomically elite dent corn plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are further provided.
    Type: Application
