Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ideal plant architecture is central to high-yield maize breeding. The proportional length of internodes above the ear plays a crucial role in determining plant architecture. METHODS: In this study, we used an association panel comprising 288 maize inbred lines and performed genome-wide association studies (GWASs) with 1.25 M high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers under a Q + K mixed...
