Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plant height (PH) is a key agronomic trait influencing Maize yield and environmental adaptability. An optimal plant height can improve lodging resistance, planting density, and harvest index, thereby promoting stable and increased Maize yield. To investigate the genetic basis of plant height regulation, a multi-parent population comprising 917 F8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was developed by...
