Abstract excerpt
The husk-the leaf-like outer covering of maize ear-has multiple functions, including protecting the ear from diseases infection and dehydration. In previous studies, we genotyped an association panel of 508 inbred lines genotyped with a total of ~550,000 SNPs (Illumina 50 K SNP Chip and RNA-seq). Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) were conducted on four husk traits: husk length (HL), husk layer number (HN),...
