Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drought stress is one of the major limiting factors for maize production. With the availability of maize B73 reference genome and whole-genome resequencing of 15 maize inbreds, common variants (CV) and clustering analyses were applied to identify non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) and corresponding candidate genes for drought tolerance. RESULTS: A total of 524 nsSNPs that were associated with 271 candidate...
