Identification of Ear Morphology Genes in Maize (Zea mays L.) Using Selective Sweeps and Association Mapping

The performance of maize hybrids largely depend on two parental inbred lines. Improving inbred lines using artificial selection is a key task in breeding programs. However, it is important to elucidate the effects of this selection on inbred lines. Altogether, 208 inbred lines from two maize heteros...
