Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ear length (EL) is a critical determinant of yield in maize breeding, yet its genetic underpinnings remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to identify key quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes controlling EL to enhance our understanding of the genetic basis of ear development. RESULTS: To characterize candidate genes governing EL regulation, a population consist of 318 BC4F4 lines,...
