Identification and validation of miRNAs associated with the resistance of maize (Zea mays L.) to Exserohilum turcicum.
Northern leaf blight, caused by the fungus Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.), is a major disease of maize (Zea mays L.). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recently reported as gene expression regulators related to several stress responses; however, evidence of the role of miRNAs in plant response to biotic st...
