… of maize inbred lines and hybrids. Our objectives were to dissect the genetic architecture of
… GWAS and linkage mapping and to evaluate the predictability of WGP for the KRN of maize. …

… by the plant number, ear number per plant, and ear weight. The ear weight can be analyzed
by the kernel number per row, kernel row number (KRN), and kernel weight. These traits are …

… traits are relevant for maize grain yield determination. The link between crop physiology
and genetics highlighted in this study provided insight into the genetic architecture of KW and …

… attributes that significantly affect the alkaline cooking performance of corn: kernel … Kernel
size is partially a function of kernel row number, with fewer kernel rows resulting in larger kernels…

… polygenic genetic architecture. They also showed that multiple models of genetic architecture
… explain a population’s variation in maize height, but they may vary in predictive efficacy. …

… Kernel number per ear can be further subdivided into two components: kernel row number
(KRN) and kernel number per row (KNPR). These traits exhibit higher heritability and better …

… gene GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING1 (GIF1), had a conserved function that affects kernel/seed
development in maize … Our results help to elucidate the genetic basis of maize kernel size …

… to population density in four maize hybrids and suggested that grain yield per plant and yield
per unit area were the most plastic traits, while ear height and row number per ear were the …

… (2007) were used to test hypotheses related to mean r 2 of marker associations with
shank length, cob length, and kernel row number, respectively, in our maize evaluations. …

… numbers. The present study aims to improve our understanding of the genetic architecture
and molecular mechanism of maize kernel yield and contribute to the improvement for kernel …
