James Holland and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for resistance to Southern Leaf Blight (SLB) in the maize nested association mapping population. Linkage mapping identified 32 QTLs linked to SLB resistance, and association tests showed that 51 SNPs, many located within the QTL intervals, are significantly associated with SLB resistance.
