Abstract excerpt
Background: Shelling percentage is an important trait affecting grain yield efficiency in maize, but its genetic basis remains insufficiently understood. Methods: In this study, a maize-teosinte BC2S2 population derived from Zheng58 and (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis, CIMMYTMA 8782) was used for phenotypic evaluation and QTL mapping of shelling percentage across two replicates and BLUP-based analysis. Candidate genes...
