Popis: Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is a viral disease that causes substantial yield loss, especially in China’s summer planted maize area. Discovery of resistance genes would help in developing high-yielding resistant maize hybrids. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have advanced quickly and are now a powerful tool for dissecting complex genetic architectures. In this study, the disease severity index (DSI) of 292 maize inbred lines and an F6 linkage population were investigated across multiple environments for two years. Using the genotypes obtained from the Maize SNP 50K chip, a GWAS was performed with four analytical models. The results showed that 22 SNPs distributed on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 were significantly associated with resistance to MRDD (P
