Abstract excerpt
In plants with C4 photosynthesis, physiological mechanisms underlying variation in stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ(13)C) are largely unknown, and genetic components influencing Δ(13)C have not been described. We analyzed a maize (Zea mays) introgression library derived from two elite parents to investigate whether Δ(13)C is under genetic control in this C4 species. High-density genotyping with the...
