QTL mapping, validation, and candidate gene predicting for maize plant architecture traits via bulked segregant analysis plus linkage analysis with F₂ population.

Abstract excerpt

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a globally important food crop whose plant architecture directly influences yield formation by regulating lodging resistance and photosynthetic efficiency, so deciphering the genetic mechanisms underlying plant architecture traits is essential for breeding high-yield varieties. In this study, maize inbred lines C144 and Su54—exhibiting significant differences in plant height (PH), tassel...
