Correlation coefficients between mean values of NAM RILs for lesion mimic traits and disease resistance score values obtained from previous studies (SLB, Kump et al. [34]; NLB, Poland et al. [35]; GLS, Benson [33]).

LES, lesion score; HTR, height ratio; SWR, stalk width ratio; DTAR, days to anthesis ratio; SLB, southern leaf blight resistance score ; GLS, gray leaf spot resistance score; NLB, northern leaf blight resistance score; N, sample size and inv indicates that the original lesion/disease rating scale was inverted so that the correlation sign was consistent between comparisons so that in every case, a positive correlation implies increased HR was correlated with increased HR or with increased disease resistance. Significance of correlation coefficients (r);
****P<0.0001,
***P<0.001,
**P<0.01,
*P<0.05.
ns- not significant.
