Dissecting the Genetic Basis Underlying Combining Ability of Plant Height Related Traits in Maize

Maize plant height related traits including plant height, ear height, and internode number are tightly linked with biomass, planting density, and grain yield in the field. Previous studies have focused on understanding the genetic basis of plant architecture traits per se, but the genetic basis of c...
