Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Phenotypic diversity arises from the process of development and is shaped by genomic variation in plants. However, the genetic basis of growth dynamics remains poorly understood in maize. RESULTS: Here, we analyze 679 maize inbred lines derived from a synthetic CUBIC population with approximately 2.8 million SNPs, leveraging high-throughput phenotyping to capture 1,002,240 RGB images across 18 growth...
