Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Teosinte improves maize grain yield and broadens the maize germplasm. Seventy-one quantitative trait loci associated with 24 differential traits between maize and teosinte were identified. Maize is a major cereal crop with a narrow germplasm that has limited its production and breeding progress. Teosinte, an ancestor of maize, provides valuable genetic resources for maize breeding. To identify the...
