Abstract excerpt
cis-Regulatory variations contribute to trait evolution and adaptation during crop domestication and improvement. As the most important harvested organ in maize (Zea mays L.), kernel size has undergone intensive selection for size. However, the associations between maize kernel size and cis-regulatory variations remain unclear. We chose two independent association populations to dissect the genetic architecture...
