Evaluation of Maize Hybrids for Identifying Resistance to Northern Corn Leaf Blight in Northeast China.

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) caused by is one of the most devastating foliar diseases in maize ( L.), resulting in great economic losses worldwide. The mutation of the pathogen exacerbates the occurrence and harmfulness of NCLB in China.

Physiological Races and Virulence Dynamics of in Northeast China.

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by , is an important foliar disease in corn. Since 2005, the damage from NCLB has increased in Northeast China, probably from the emergence of new physiological races. In this study, 883 single conidial isolates of were obtained from 12 sites across three provinces of Northeast China between 2007 and 2017.
