Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A tropical RIL maize population was subjected to phenotypic and genotypic analysis for maize weevil resistance during four seasons, and three main genomic areas were detected as main QTLs. The maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) (MW) is a common and important pest of stored maize (Zea mays) worldwide, especially in tropical areas. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with the MW have been analyzed...
