Banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) is a
destructive disease of maize and it leads to 100 per cent
yield losses. The causal organism of BLSB is Rhizoctonia
solani and the organism grows under favourable humidity
(88–90 per cent) and temperature (15–35o
C) conditions.
The management practices used to control the disease
spread are inadequate at this moment due to its broad host
range. Therefore, the identification and exploitation of
genetic resistance is an economical and sustainable option
to control this disease. However, limited genetic variability
poses a major challenge for resistance breeding against
BLSB in maize. A few resistant sources have been identified
and used for the identification of QTLs and candidate genes
responsible for BLSB resistance. Here, we summarized the
management practices, genetic resources, and different
molecular approaches used to identify the QTLs and key
candidate genes associated with BLSB resistance in maize
