Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In this study, tropical maize germplasms were used to construct a multiparent population (MPP) to identify novel genes associated with kernel protein content. The kernel protein content was quantified using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the MPP, which was evaluated in three different environments. RESULTS: QTL mapping revealed 23 significant QTLs tightly linked to kernel protein content, with...
