Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: We provide a foundation for elucidating the molecular regulatory mechanisms of candidate genes involved in plant architecture and yield related traits. Plant height (PH), leaf angle (LA), ear shank length (ESL), and tassel branch number (TBN) are key plant architecture traits that play crucial roles in improving grain yield in maize. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) combined with...
