Abstract excerpt

Stalk lodging is a major threat to global maize production, which causes great annual yield losses. Stalk bending strength (SBS) is highly associated with resistance to stalk lodging in maize. However, the genetic basis of SBS remains largely unknown. In this study, we identify a quantitative trait locus (QTL), stiff2, corresponding to a known flowering-time gene ZmCCT, by integrating QTL mapping and association...
