Marker-assisted selection of qMrdd8 to improve maize resistance to rough dwarf disease
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is caused by viruses in the Fijivirus genus in the family Reoviridae. MRDD resistance can be improved by a combination of marker-assisted selection (MAS) and conventional breeding strategies.
