Abstract excerpt
The chlorophyll content (CC) directly affects photosynthesis, growth, and yield. However, the genetic basis of CC is still unclear in maize (Zea mays L.). Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study using mixed linear model for CC of the fifth leaves at seedling stage (CCFSS) and the ear leaves at filling stage (CCEFS) for 334 maize inbred lines. The heritability estimates for CCFSS and CCEFS, obtained via...
