Abstract excerpt
The optimal plant architecture, characterized by short stature, helps mitigate lodging, enables high-density planting, and facilitates mechanized harvesting. Internode length (IL), a crucial component of plant height in maize, plays a significant role in these processes. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying internode elongation remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association...
