BACKGROUND: Maize kernel colour is an important index for evaluating maize quality and value and mainly entails two natural pigments, carotenoids and anthocyanins. To analyse the genetic mechanism of maize kernel colour and mine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to kernel colour traits, an association panel including 244 superior maize inbred lines was used to measure and analyse the six traits...
