Identification of a Major QTL Controlling Maize Lateral Root Branching Number Through Integrated BSA-Seq and Transcriptome Analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Maize lateral roots play essential roles in plant anchorage, mechanical support, and water and nutrient acquisition. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying lateral root development remain unclear. In this study, an F2 population was generated by crossing the inbred lines B111, which exhibits abundant lateral roots on brace roots, and T4691, which lacks lateral roots on brace roots, to map loci controlling...
