Abstract excerpt
Maize ( L.) hybrids have transitioned to upright leaf angles (LAs) over the last 50 yr as maize yields and planting densities increased concurrently. Genetic mapping and a meta-analysis were conducted in the present study to dissect genetic factors controlling LA variation. We developed mapping populations using inbred lines B73 (Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic), PHW30 (Iodent, expired plant variety protection...
