Identification of Candidate QTLs and Genes for Ear Diameter by Multi-Parent Population in Maize

Identification of Candidate QTLs and Genes for Ear Diameter by Multi-Parent Population in Maize

Ear diameter (ED) is a critical component of grain yield (GY) in maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.). Studying the genetic basis of ED in maize is of great significance in enhancing maize GY. Against this backdrop, this study was framed to (1) map the ED-related quantitative trait locus (QTL) and...
