Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Two closely linked novel loci, qKRN2-1 and qKRN2-2, associated with kernel row number were fine-mapped on chromosome 2, and a key candidate gene for qKRN2-1 was identified through expression analysis. Kernel row number (KRN) is a crucial factor influencing maize yield and serves as a significant target for maize breeding. The use of wild progenitor species can aid in identifying the essential traits...
