This review describes the current status of genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the
major crops in maize (Zea mays L.) concentrate on performing association mapping as a …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

Maize is one of the most important crops globally, and it shows remarkable genetic diversity.
Knowledge of this diversity could help in crop improvement; however, gold-standard …

Drought represents a major constraint on maize production worldwide. Understanding the
genetic basis for natural variation in drought tolerance of maize may facilitate efforts to …

Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic
adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the …

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is at the vanguard facing the upcoming breeding
challenges. However, both a super pan-genome for the Zea genus and a comprehensive …

The genomic basis underlying the selection for environmental adaptation and yield-related
traits in maize remains poorly understood. Here we carried out genome-wide profiling of the …

Plant height (PH) is an essential trait in maize (Zea mays) that is tightly associated with
planting density, biomass, lodging resistance, and grain yield in the field. Dissecting the …

Background Drought is a major environmental disaster that causes crop yield loss
worldwide. Metabolites are involved in various environmental stress responses of plants …

GWAS involves testing genetic variants across the genomes of many individuals of a
population to identify genotype–phenotype association. It was initially developed and has …
