Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Earlier studies were focused on the genetics of temperate and tropical maize under drought. We identified genetic loci and their association with functional mechanisms in 240 accessions of subtropical maize using a high-density marker set under water stress. RESULTS: Out of 61 significant SNPs (11 were false-discovery-rate-corrected associations), identified across agronomic traits, models, and...
