Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Here, we revealed maize prolificacy highly correlated with domestication and identified a causal gene ZmEN1 located in one novel QTL qGEN261 that regulating maize prolificacy by using multiple-mapping methods. The development of maize prolificacy (EN) is crucial for enhancing yield and breeding specialty varieties. To achieve this goal, we employed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to analyze...
