Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Twenty-seven favorable teosinte alleles reducing cadmium accumulation or enhancing tolerance were identified across 44 QTLs, and three promising candidate genes for the qCCA3-3 locus were further screened through integrated RNA-seq and qRT-PCR. Cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils poses serious threats to food security and human health through crop bioaccumulation. This study integrated...
