Abstract excerpt
The evaluation of the kernel oil content and fatty acid composition in maize is crucial for understanding maize nutrition. This study utilized an association population of 278 inbred lines and a F2 population of 229 individuals to identify candidate genes for 8 kernel weight and oil traits. By employing two genome-wide association study (GWAS) models, the K model and Q+K model, key SNP loci and candidate genes...
