Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Maize is a vital grain and forage crop with continuously increasing yield demands, making the improvement of plant architecture for high-density planting particularly significant. Among architectural traits, leaf angle (LA) is a key factor influencing light interception and canopy architecture. To dissect the genetic basis of LA in maize, a genome-wide association study was conducted. RESULTS: A panel...
