Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: qKRN8, a major QTL for kernel row number in maize, was fine mapped to an interval of ~ 520 kb on chromosome 8 and the key candidate gene was identified via expression analysis. Kernel row number (KRN) is one of the most important yield-influencing traits and is closely associated with female inflorescence development in maize (Zea mays L.). In this study, an F2:3 population derived from a cross...
