Abstract Drought stress is a central environmental factor that severely limits maize production worldwide. Root architecture plays an important role in drought tolerance and can be targeted breeding programmes. Here, we conducted phenotyping of root under different water treatments for 373 inbred lines, representative germplasm from both China the United States eras. We found seminal length response to experienced convergent increase during countries. Using genome‐wide association study,...
Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting maize development and growth. Unravelling the molecular mechanisms underlying drought tolerance enhancing of great importance. However, due to complexity genome multiplicity mechanisms, identifying genetic effects remains challenging. Using mixed linear model (MLM) based on 362 inbred lines, we identified 40 associated loci 150 candidate genes with survival rates. Concurrently, transcriptome analysis was conducted for five - tolerant sensitive...
The crown root system is the most important component at both vegetative and reproductive stages in maize. However, genetic basis of maize traits (CRT) still unclear, relationship between CRT aboveground agronomic poorly understood In this study, an association panel including 531 elite inbred lines was planted to phenotype different field environments. We found that were significantly positively correlated with flowering time, plant architecture grain yield. Using a genome-wide study (GWAS)...
Tassel branch number (TBN) is one of the important agronomic traits that contribute to efficiency seed production and has been selected strongly during modern maize breeding process. However, genetic mechanisms TBN in are not entirely clear. In this study, we used a B73 × CML247 recombination inbred lines (RILs) population detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for TBN. A total four QTLs (
