Genome-Wide Association Studies on the Kernel Row Number in a Multi-Parent Maize Population.

Abstract excerpt

Kernel row number (KRN) is a crucial trait in maize that directly influences yield; hence, understanding the mechanisms underlying KRN is vital for the development of high-yielding inbred lines and hybrids. We crossed four excellent panicle inbred lines (CML312, CML444, YML46, and YML32) with Ye107, and after eight generations of selfing, a multi-parent population was developed comprising four subpopulations,...
