Abstract excerpt
Maize yield per unit area is determined by the number of plants per unit area and the yield per plant. Yield per plant is largely dependent on the yield per ear, which is determined by kernel traits. In this research, a high-density genetic map was constructed from a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population comprising 209 lines. QTL mapping was performed for ten ear-related traits: ear length, rows per ear, ear...
