Combined Genome-Wide Association Study and Linkage Analysis for Mining Candidate Genes for the Kernel Row Number in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.)

Kernel row number (KRN) is one of the key traits that significantly affect maize yield and productivity. Therefore, investigating the candidate genes and their functions in regulating KRN provides a theoretical basis and practical direction for genetic improvement in maize breeding, which is vital f...
