Functional analysis of the GRMZM2G174449 promoter to identify Rhizoctonia solani-inducible cis-elements in maize

Abstract Background Banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Rhizoctonia solani, is a highly devastating disease in most maize and rice growing areas of the world. However, the molecular mechanisms of perceiving pathogen signals are poorly understood in hosts. Results...
