Abstract excerpt
Temperature has a severe impact on maize height. However, the mechanisms by which maize regulates height in response to heat have not been fully established. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study and identify one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the maize MIR172C promoter strongly associated with temperature-dependent plant height. This SNP is selected during maize domestication from...
