In Vitro and In Planta Studies on Temperature Adaptation of Isolates from Maize in Europe and South America.

Northern Corn Leaf Blight (NCLB) is a fungal leaf disease in maize caused by . NCLB occurs worldwide, from tropical to temperate zones raising the question about plasticity of temperature adaptation of local isolates of the pathogen. Seven isolates of originating from South America and seven from Europe were compared for their response to temperature variations in vitro and in vivo between 15 and 30 °C.
