Plant height (PH) and ear height (EH) are important agronomic traits in maize (Zea mays L.) breeding. To investigate the influence of the genetic background on the detection of quantitative trait locus (QTL) conferring PH and EH, related mapping populations were developed from a near isogenic line (NIL) and its recurrent parent. Through joint-environment analyses, a total of four QTLs for PH were...
Kernel weight (KWEI), a complex quantitative trait that is largely determined by kernel size, is a key component of grain yield in maize. In our previous studies, qKW7, a putative pleiotropic QTL associated with both KWEI and kernel width (KWID), was detected within the 7.02 bin region on chromosome 7 by both F2:3 population and recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from a Ye478 and Huangzaosi...
Maize inflorescence provides a useful model to study the genetic and molecular control of meristems. Many classical maize mutants were described last century, providing important insights into the mechanism of developmental control. The fea* - 9LB030 is a new maize spontaneous mutant controlled by a single recessive gene. The ears are fasciated in line at the tip with...
