Evaluation of Corn Germplasm Accessions for Resistance to , Causal Agent of Goss's Bacterial Wilt and Leaf Blight.

Goss's bacterial wilt and leaf blight of corn (), caused by , is a reemerging disease in the Midwestern United States. From 2011 to 2013, field studies and a greenhouse study were conducted to assess the University of Illinois maize inbred collection for putative sources of resistance to Goss's bacterial wilt and leaf blight. This inbred collection consisted of over 2,000 diverse inbred corn lines that have been collected from all over the world.
