Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Genetic Architecture and Candidate Genes for Yield and Related Traits under Terminal Drought, Combined Heat and Drought in Tropical Maize Germplasm

Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) production is constrained by drought and heat stresses. The combination of these two stresses is likely to be more detrimental. To breed for maize cultivars tolerant of these stresses, 162 tropical maize inbred lines were evaluated under combined heat and droug...
