Heterotic quantitative trait loci analysis and genomic prediction of seedling biomass-related traits in maize triple testcross populations

Abstract Background Heterosis has been widely used in maize breeding. However, we know little about the heterotic quantitative trait loci and their roles in genomic prediction. In this study, we sought to identify heterotic quantitative trait loci for seedling biomass-related traits using triple tes...
