2023 article

Genome-wide association study and pathway analysis to decipher loci associated with Fusarium ear rot resistance in tropical maize germplasm

Ayesiga, S. B., Rubaihayo, P., Oloka, B. M., Dramadri, I. O., & Sserumaga, J. P. (2023, November 10). GENETIC RESOURCES AND CROP EVOLUTION, Vol. 11.

By: S. Ayesiga*, P. Rubaihayo*, B. Oloka n, I. Dramadri* & J. Sserumaga*

author keywords: Genome-wide association study; Metabolic pathways; Fusarium verticillioides; SNPs; Zea mays
TL;DR: Overall, this study confirmed that resistance to FER is indeed a complex mechanism controlled by several small to medium-effect loci, and may contribute to fast-tracking the efforts to develop disease-resistant maize lines through marker-assisted selection. (via Semantic Scholar)

Contributors: B. Oloka n, G. Silva Pereira*, V. Amankwaah n, M. Mollinari n, K. Pecota n, B. Yada*, B. Olukolu*, Z. Zeng n, G. Craig Yencho n

MeSH headings : Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Disease Resistance / genetics; Genetic Linkage; Genotype; Ipomoea batatas / genetics; Ipomoea batatas / parasitology; Plant Diseases / genetics; Plant Diseases / parasitology; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Quantitative Trait Loci; Tylenchoidea / pathogenicity
TL;DR: A major dominant QTL for root-knot nematode (RKN) resistance is discovered using a high-density integrated genetic linkage map of hexaploid sweetpotato, which represents a significant step forward in understanding of the genetic architecture of RKN resistance and sets the stage for future utilization of genomics-assisted breeding inSweetpotato breeding programs.
