Integrated Transcriptome and MicroRNAome Analysis Reveals Dynamic Responses Underlying ZmWAK-Mediated Resistance to Head Smut in Maize
The maize wall-associated kinase gene ZmWAK confers partial resistance to head smut caused by Sporisorium reilianum, yet how it coordinates dynamic immune responses remains poorly understood. Here, we integrated transcriptome and microRNAome analyses of near-isogenic maize lines differing at the ZmWAK locus to dissect...
