Identification of Maize Fusarium Ear Rot Resistance Genes via Integrated BSA-Seq and RNA-Seq Analysis
This study integrates BSA-Seq, RNA-Seq, and WGCNA analyses to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of maize resistance to *Fusarium graminearum*, identifying eight resistance-associated loci and six high-confidence candidate genes involved in oxidative stress, hormone signaling, and cell wall modification that distinguish the resistant inbred line K0743 from the susceptible K0742.
