Abstract excerpt
Maize is the third most important cereal crop worldwide. However, its production is vulnerable to heat stress, which is expected to become more and more severe in coming years. Germplasm resilient to heat stress has been identified, but its underlying genetic basis remains poorly understood. Genomic mapping technologies can fill the void, provided robust markers are available to tease apart the genotype-phenotype...
