Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Twelve QTL for flowering and leaf number were detected. The ZmWRKY14Hap4 could increase leaf number, flowering time and biomass yield which are promising for silage maize breeding. Silage maize, one of the most important feedstock for ruminants, is widely grown from temperate regions to the tropics. Flowering time and leaf number are two significantly correlated traits and important for the quality,...
