Abstract:
Maize production suffers largely from the unpredictable and often simultaneous occurrence of multiple diseases, highlighting the urgent need for broad-spectrum resistant (BSR) genes. Recently, Zhu et al. identified a ZmCPK39-ZmDi19-ZmPR10 module that confers resistance to three maize (Zea mays) foliar diseases, providing a strategic framework to improve maize BSR.
