Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A key candidate gene, GRMZM2G110141, which could be used in marker-assisted selection in maize breeding programs, was detected among the 16 genetic loci associated with waterlogging tolerance identified through genome-wide association study. Waterlogging stress seriously affects the growth and development of upland crops such as maize (Zea mays L.). However, the genetic basis of waterlogging...
