Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: qPEDS1, a major quantitative trait locus that determines kernel row number during domestication, harbors the proposed causal gene Zm00001d033675, which may affect jasmonic acid biosynthesis and determine the fate of spikelets. Maize domestication has achieved the production of maize with enlarged ears, enhancing grain productivity dramatically. Kernel row number (KRN), an important yield-related...
