Sorghum downy mildew (Perenosclerospora sorghi) is one of the most devastating diseases in tropical maize. Although seed treatment is an effective alternative at the moment, the cost of seed treatment is high. Breeding for downy mildew resistance is the most cost effective. The present study is aimed at mapping the genes controlling downy mildew resistance in maize.
