Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Maize kernel row number might be dominated by a set of large additive or partially dominant loci and several small dominant loci and can be accurately predicted by fewer than 300 top KRN-associated SNPs. Kernel row number (KRN) is an important yield component in maize and directly affects grain yield. In this study, we combined linkage and association mapping to uncover the genetic architecture of...
