Abstract excerpt
Ear length (EL) is an important trait in maize ( L.) because it is positively correlated with grain yield. To understand the genetic basis of natural EL variation, a F, a four-way cross and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) population were used to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate EL genes. Linkage mapping identified 14 QTLs in two types of populations from multiple environments. Six...
