From: RNA-Seq analysis of resistant and susceptible sub-tropical maize lines reveals a role for kauralexins in resistance to grey leaf spot disease, caused by Cercospora zeina

Comparison of disease lesions in C. zeina-susceptible and C. zeina-resistant lines. Leaf material was harvested at 103 dap. a C. zeina-susceptible line (RIL165) displayed mature grey leaf spot lesions, tan, rectangular in shape and running parallel with the leaf veins. b C. zeina-resistant line (RIL387) showed limited disease symptoms. c In planta fungal quantification indicated that leaf material from RIL165 contained significantly higher amounts of fungal DNA than leaves from RIL387. A qPCR assay could determine ng Cercospora zeina (Cz) DNA per mg maize DNA [31]. Input DNA was extracted from leaf material (average quantity, n = 3 ± SEM; unpaired T-test, **P < 0.01)
