Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A set of RIL population was used to detect QTL associated with the sizes of eight consecutive leaves, across different environments, and ten QTL clusters were identified as main QTLs. One of the important parameters of the maize leaf architecture that affects light penetration into the canopy, leaf size, has long attracted breeders' attention for optimizing the plant type of maize and for maximizing...
