Abstract excerpt
Maize is one of the most important crops for human food, animal feed, and industrial raw materials. Ear shank length (ESL) and ear shank node number (ESNN) are crucial selection criteria in maize breeding, impacting grain yield and dehydration rate during mechanical harvesting. To unravel the genetic basis of ESL and ESNN in maize, an association panel consisting of 379 multi-parent doubled-haploid (DH) lines was...
