Maize (Zea mays L.), the third most widely cultivated cereal crop in the world, plays a critical
role in global food security. To improve the efficiency of selecting superior genotypes in …

Key message Combined linkage and association analysis revealed five co-localized genetic
loci across multiple environments. The key gene Zm00001d026491 was further verified to …

Maize (Zea mays) inbred lines vary greatly in flowering time, but the genetic basis of this
variation is unknown. In this study, three maize flowering-related traits (DTT, days to …

Suitable flowering time can improve fiber yield and quality, which is of great significance for
jute biological breeding. In this study, 242 jute accessions were planted in Fujian for 2 …

Key message The dynamic genetic architecture of flowering time in chrysanthemum was
elucidated by GWAS. Thirty-six known genes and 14 candidate genes were identified …

The corn leaf aphid (Rhopalosiphum maidis) is a major maize pest that frequently causes
substantial yield losses. Exploring the genetic basis of resistance to aphids is important for …

An appropriate flowering period is an important selection criterion in maize breeding. It plays
a crucial role in the ecological adaptability of maize varieties. To explore the genetic basis of …

Drought stress poses a significant threat to rice production, necessitating the identification of
genes associated with drought tolerance. This study employed a combination of genome …

Identifying candidate genes associated with resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB) will
greatly enhance maize breeding programs aiming at reducing maize grain yield losses …
