Abstract excerpt
Drought is a major environmental factor limiting maize (Zea mays L.) production worldwide. Unraveling the genetic basis of drought tolerance and pinpointing key loci and candidate genes are fundamental to the molecular breeding of maize with enhanced drought resistance. In this research, 200 maize inbred lines were evaluated under two contrasting water conditions-water-stressed (WS) and well-watered-across two...
