Durable resistance is largely decided by the combined effect of several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) having a minor effect. Currently, STB is not important in South Asia. However, STB expanding and wider adaptability, changing climatic conditions, and agronomic practices can create a situation of concern. Therefore, dissection of the genetic architecture of adult-plant resistance with genome-wide association mapping and selection of resistant sources for adult plant STB resistance were carried out on a panel of South Asian germplasm. We discovered the 91 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) associated with STB resistance; 23 QTNs were repetitive across the different years and models. Many of these QTNs could differentiate the mapping panel into resistant versus susceptible groups and were linked to candidate genes related to disease resistance functions within linkage disequilibrium blocks. The repetitive QTNs, namely, Q.CIM.stb.2DL.2, Q.CIM.stb_dh.2DL.3, Q.CIM.stb.2AL.5, and Q.CIM.stb.7BL.1, may be novel due to the absence of co-localization of previously reported QTLs, meta-quantitative trait loci, and STB genes. There was a perfect negative correlation between the stacking of favorable alleles and STB susceptibility, and STB resistance response was improved by ∼50% with the stacking of ≥60% favorable alleles.
