Gene expression and expression quantitative trait loci analyses uncover natural variations underlying the improvement of important agronomic traits during modern maize breeding.

Abstract excerpt

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple crop worldwide, and during modern maize breeding, cultivars with increased tolerance to high-density planting and higher yield per plant have contributed significantly to the increased yield per unit land area. Systematically identifying key agronomic traits and their associated genomic changes during modern maize breeding remains a significant challenge because of the...
