Article Synopsis
- * The study identified seven SNPs linked to FER resistance, which explained 4-11% of the trait's variation across 151 tropical maize lines over two seasons.
- * Researchers found significant metabolic pathways related to FER resistance, especially the glyoxylate cycle, highlighting the intricate genetic control of this resistance and its potential for improving disease-resistant maize through marker-assisted selection.
Unlabelled: The use of molecular markers allows for precise estimates of genetic diversity, which is an important parameter that enables breeders to select parental lines and designing breeding systems. We assessed the level of genetic diversity and population structure in a panel of 151 tropical maize inbred lines using 10,940 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers generated through the DArTseq genotyping platform. The average gene diversity was 0.

This discovery is useful for development of a modern sweetpotato breeding program that utilizes marker-assisted selection and genomic selection approaches for faster genetic gain of RKN resistance. The root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood] (RKN) causes significant storage root quality reduction and yields losses in cultivated sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.
