Abstract excerpt
Vgt1 (Vegetative to generative transition 1) is a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for flowering time in maize (Zea mays L.). Vgt1 was initially mapped in a ca. 5-cM interval on chromosome bin 8.05, using a set of near-isogenic lines (NILs) in the genetic background of the late dent line N28, with the earliness allele introgressed from the early variety Gaspé Flint. A new large mapping population was produced by...
