Abstract excerpt
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a globally significant crop, with its kernel sugar content playing a crucial role in determining nutritional quality and industrial applications. This study aimed to elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlying sugar-related traits in maize kernels through genome-wide association studies. We evaluated 495 maize inbred lines for reducing sugar content, soluble sugar content, and the...
