Unraveling the Sclerotinia Basal Stalk Rot Resistance Derived From Wild Helianthus argophyllus Using a High-Density Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Linkage Map

Basal stalk rot (BSR), caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a serious disease of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in the humid temperate growing areas of the world. BSR resistance is quantitative and conditioned by multiple genes. Our objective was to dissect the BSR resistance introduc...
