Abstract excerpt
Large phenotypic variations in the lead (Pb) concentration were observed in grains and leaves of maize plants. A further understanding of inheritance of Pb accumulation may facilitate improvement of low-Pb-accumulating cultivars in maize. A genome-wide association study was conducted in a population of 269 maize accessions with 43,737 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The Pb concentrations in leaves and...
