An Integration of Linkage Mapping and GWAS Reveals the Key Genes for Ear Shank Length in Maize

Ear shank length (ESL) has significant effects on grain yield and kernel dehydration rate in maize. Herein, linkage mapping and genome-wide association study were combined to reveal the genetic architecture of maize ESL. Sixteen quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified in the segregation popula...
