Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen (N) is an essential yield-limiting factor in maize, and identifying genes that improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is critical for sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. However, the genetic basis of NUE in maize remains poorly understood. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a mixed linear model (MLM) controlling for population structure and kinship,...
