Abstract excerpt
The primary objective in contemporary maize breeding is to pursue high quality alongside high yield. Deciphering the genetic basis of natural variation in starch, protein, oil, and fiber contents is essential for manipulating kernel composition, thereby enhancing the kernel quality and meeting growing demands. Here, we identified 12 to 88 statistically significant loci associated with kernel composition traits...
