Integrating GWAS with a gene co-expression network better prioritizes candidate genes associated with root metaxylem phenes in maize.

Abstract excerpt

Root metaxylems are phenotypically diverse structures whose function is particularly important under drought stress. Significant research has dissected the genetic machinery underlying metaxylem phenotypes in dicots, but that of monocots are relatively underexplored. In maize (Zea mays), a robust pipeline integrated a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of root metaxylem phenes under well-watered and...
