Relationships of resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination with agronomic performance of maize
CROP SCIENCE, 47(5), 1770–1778.
Contributors: L. Robertson-Hoyt n, C. Kleinschmidt*, D. White*, n, C. Maragos * & J. Holland n
TL;DR:
Examination of the relationship between disease resistance and agronomic utility in a maize population created by backcrossing the highly resistant donor line to the susceptible but commercially successful recurrent parent line indicates that QTL can contribute in opposite directions to the overall genetic correlations between traits and that some trait correlations arise in the absence of detectable QTL effects.
