KRN4 Controls Quantitative Variation in Maize Kernel Row Number.

KRN4 Controls Quantitative Variation in Maize Kernel Row Number.

Kernel row number (KRN) is an important component of yield during the domestication and improvement of maize and controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL). Here, we fine-mapped a major KRN QTL, KRN4, which can enhance grain productivity by increasing KRN per ear. We found that a ~3-Kb intergenic r...
