Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), a corn disease infected by Exserohilum turcicum, can cause loss of harvest and economy. Identification or evaluation of NCLB-resistant quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genes could improve maize breeds. This study aimed to identify novel QTLs for NCLB-resistance.Two maize strains (BB and BC) were utilized to generate B73 × B97 and B73 × CML322 and constructed the genetic linkage using high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) linkage map analysis of 170 (BB) and 163(BC) recombinant inbred line (RIL) genomic DNA samples. NCLB-resistant QTL was associated with phenotypic data from the field trial of 170 BB and 163 BC strains over two years using these 1100 SNPs to identify high-density NCLB-resistant QTLs.In BB, QTL of the NCLB resistance was on chromosome 1 and 3 (LOD scores between 2.74 and 5.44); in BC, QTL of NCLB resistance was on chromosome 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9 (LOD scores between 2.52 and 8.53). A number of genes or genetic information related to NCLB resistance in both BB and BC were identified with the maximum number of genes/NCLB resistance-related QTL on chromosome 3 for BB and on chromosome 1 for BC.This study successfully mapped and identified NCLB-resistant QTL and genes for these 2 different maize strains, which provides insightful information for future study of NCLB-resistance and selection of NCLB-resistant maize variants.

Collection of data related to crop plant and model organism Zea mays. Used to synthesize, display, and provide access to maize genomics and genetics data, prioritizing mutant and phenotype data and tools, structural and genetic map sets, and gene models and to provide support services to the community of maize researchers. Data stored at MaizeGDB was inherited from the MaizeDB and ZmDB projects. Sequence data are from GenBank. Data are searchable by phenotype, traits, Pests, Gel Pattern, and Mutant Images.

The PANZEA project will identify genes that control domestication traits and three key agronomic traits: flowering time, plant height, and kernel quality. Genetic linkage, association, and fine mapping analyses will be performed on the largest and most diverse set of mapping families publicly available for any species. A large series of isogenic lines will be used to characterize allelic series and epistatic interactions. The genetic architecture of each of the four trait groups will be compared and contrasted, and the influence of recombination and past domestication bottlenecks on the genomic distribution of functional diversity will be examined. Finally, the ability of genetic architecture-based models to predict phenotype will be evaluated in a broad range of germplasm, including elite US hybrids. This project will take a step toward the ultimate goal of predicting phenotype from genotype.
