Maize root system architecture determines key functions of uptake of water and nutrients in plants. A large number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of root-related traits have been found in different populations of maize. Identification of consistent QTLs across diverse genetic backgrounds could be instrumental on marker-assisted selection of traits and identification of candidate functional genes...
Improving grain yield is the ultimate goal of the maize-breeding programs. In this study, analyses of conditional and unconditional quantitative trait locus (QTL) and epistatic interactions were used to elucidate the genetic architecture of yield and its related traits. A total of 15 traits of a recombinant inbred line population, including yield per plant (YPP), seven ear-related traits, and seven...
Grain yield is one of the most important and complex quantitative traits in maize breeding. In the present study, a total of 11 connected RIL populations, derived from crosses between elite inbreed “Huangzaosi” as the common parent and 11 elite inbreeds, were evaluated for five yield components and kernel-related traits under six environments. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected for the traits...
