Abstract excerpt
Tassel branch number (TBN) is the principal component of tassel inflorescence architecture in the maize plant. TBN is believed to be controlled by a set of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). However, it is necessary to identify and genetically evaluate these QTLs before the TBN can be improved upon using a molecular breeding approach. Therefore, in this study, we developed the chromosome segment introgression line...
