Abstract excerpt
Ear diameter (ED) is a critical component of grain yield (GY) in maize (Zea mays L.). Studying the genetic basis of ED in maize is of great significance in enhancing maize GY. Against this backdrop, this study was framed to (1) map the ED-related quantitative trait locus (QTL) and SNPs associated with ED; and (2) identify putative functional genes that may affect ED in maize. To accomplish this, an elite maize...
