Replication Data for: Identification and validation of genomic regions associated with charcoal rot resistance in tropical maize by genome-wide association and linkage mapping
Abstract
Charcoal rot, caused by the fungal pathogen, Macrophomina phaseolina, is a serious concern for small holder maize cultivation. It can cause significant yield loss and plant lodging at harvest. A genome wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using the CIMMYT Asia panel of 396 tropical-adapted lines to identify and validate genomic variants associated with charcoal rot resistance. In addition, two F2:3 populations were used in a QTL mapping exercise. This dataset contains the genotypic data underlying both types of analyses. Results of the analysis are presented in the related journal article.
