The study of yield traits can reveal the genetic architecture of grain yield for improving maize
production. In this study, an association panel comprising 362 inbred lines and a …

Key message Using GWAS and QTL mapping identified 100 QTL and 138 SNPs, which
control yield-related traits in maize. The candidate gene GRMZM2G098557 was further …

Improving grain yield is the ultimate goal of the maize-breeding programs. In this study,
analyses of conditional and unconditional quantitative trait locus (QTL) and epistatic …

Background Understanding the genetic basis of yield related traits contributes to the
improvement of grain yield in maize. Results Using 291 excellent maize inbred lines as …

Key message Using combined linkage and association mapping, 26 stable QTL and six
stable SNPs were detected across multiple environments for eight ear and grain …

Increasing grain yield is the ultimate goal for maize breeding. High resolution quantitative
trait loci (QTL) mapping can help us understand the molecular basis of phenotypic variation …

Background Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used to identify
QTLs underlying quantitative traits in humans and animals, and they have also become a …

Maize serves as a crucial nutrient reservoir for a significant portion of the global population.
However, to effectively address the growing world population's hidden hunger, it is essential …

High yield is the primary objective of maize breeding. Genomic dissection of grain yield and
yield-related traits contribute to understanding the yield formation and improving the yield of …
