From our set of fungal responsive DEG, we identified an ABC transporter gene (GRMZM5G803404; ABCG subgroup) and two presumed MFS transporter genes (AC208897.3_FGT004 and GRMZM2G086430) within GER resistance QTL regions on chromosomes 1 and 2. This evidence concerns the gene ABCG2 and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
