Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The maize kernel row number (KRN) is a key component that contributes to grain yield and has high broad-sense heritability (H 2 ). Quantitative trait locus/loci (QTL) mapping using a high-density genetic map is a powerful approach to detecting loci that are responsible for traits of interest. Bulked segregant ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (BSR-seq) is another rapid and cost-effective strategy to...
