Most complex quantitative traits in maize (Zea mays L.), especially grain yield, display low
correlations between the trait values observed in inbred and hybrid progeny. Comparisons …

Genetic factors controlling quantitative inheritance of grain yield and its components have
been intensively investigated during recent decades using diverse populations in maize …

The utility of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in detecting quantitative trait
loci (QTL) in maize (Zea mays L.) populations has been established. Conflicting results have …

Grain yield is the most important and complex trait in maize. In this study, a total of 258 F 9
recombinant inbred lines (RIL), derived from a cross between dent corn inbred Dan232 and …

Grain yield is one of the most important and complex quantitative traits in maize breeding. In
the present study, a total of 11 connected RIL populations, derived from crosses between …

Abstract Huangzaosi, Qi319, and Ye478 are foundation inbred lines widely used in maize
breeding in China. To elucidate genetic base of yield components and kernel-related traits …

Understanding the genetic bases underlying heterosis is a major issue in maize (Zea mays
L.). We extended the North Carolina design III (NCIII) by using three populations of …

In the cooler temperate regions of the world, maize (Zea mays L.) is primarily cultivated for
forage usage. In this study, we mapped and characterized quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

This study was conducted to determine if, in crosses among elite inbred lines of maize (Zea
mays L.) that are more similar morphologically than the lines used in previous studies …

The use of molecular markers to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting agriculturally
important traits has become a key approach in plant genetics-both for understanding the …
