Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A key candidate gene for maize kernel length was fine mapped to an interval of 942 kb; the locus significantly increases kernel length (KL) and hundred-kernel weight (HKW). Kernel size is a major determinant of yield in cereals. Kernel length, one of the determining factors of kernel size, is a target trait for both domestication and artificial breeding. However, there are few reports of fine mapping...
