Abstract excerpt
Maize seedlings are sensitive to low temperatures, and genetic mapping for chilling tolerance at the seedling stage with genetically diverse populations would facilitate the genetic improvement of this important trait. In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for four chilling tolerance-related traits at the seedling stage was conducted via a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 338 testcrosses....
