Abstract excerpt
Iron (Fe) deficiency significantly constrains maize productivity and nutritional quality, particularly in alkaline soils. To address this challenge, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using the BLINK model on 93 diverse maize inbred lines genotyped with 230,657 SNPs. Eight morphological and biomass partitioning traits were evaluated under both optimum and Fe-deficient stress (Fe-DS) conditions...
