Plant height is one of the most heritable traits in maize (Zea mays L.). Understanding the
genetic control of plant height is important for elucidating the molecular mechanisms that …

Maize yield increase has been strongly linked to plant population densities over time with
changes in plant architecture, but the genetic basis for the plant architecture response to …

Plant height is an important trait for maize breeding because it is related to planting density
and lodging resistance. It is influenced by many qualitative genes and quantitative trait loci …

It is generally believed that grain yield per unit area of modern maize hybrids is related to
their adaptability to high plant population density. In this study, the effects of two different …

Maize plant height is closely associated with biomass, lodging resistance and grain yield.
Determining the genetic basis of plant height by characterizing and cloning plant height …

Maize plant height related traits including plant height, ear height, and internode number are
tightly linked with biomass, planting density, and grain yield in the field. Previous studies …

The erectophile plant architecture in maize is responsible for high plant density tolerance,
yet the genetic basis for this relationship remains elusive, especially for how canopy …

Plant height (PH) and ear height (EH) are two very important agronomic traits related to the
population density and lodging in maize. In order to better understand of the genetic basis of …

Background The harvest index for many crops can be improved through introduction of
dwarf stature to increase lodging resistance, combined with early maturity. The inbred line …

Background Leaf width is an important agricultural trait in maize. Leaf development is
dependent on cell proliferation and expansion, and these processes exhibit polarity with …
