METHODS OF IDENTIFYING， SELECTING， AND PRODUCING SOUTHERN CORN RUST RESISTANT CROPS

The field is related to plant breeding and methods of identifying and selecting plants with resistance to southern corn rust. Provided are methods to identify novel genes that encode proteins providing plant resistance to southern corn rust and uses thereof. These disease resistant genes are useful in the production of resistant plants through breeding， transgenic modification， or genome editing.

本研究领域涉及植物育种，以及鉴定、筛选抗南方玉米锈病（southern corn rust）植株的方法。本研究提供了编码可赋予植株抗南方玉米锈病能力的蛋白质的新型基因的鉴定方法，及其应用。此类抗病基因可通过育种、转基因修饰或基因组编辑技术，用于抗病植株的培育。
