QTL analysis of Kernel-related traits in maize using an immortalized F2 population.

QTL analysis of Kernel-related traits in maize using an immortalized F2 population.

Kernel size and weight are important determinants of grain yield in maize. In this study, multivariate conditional and unconditional quantitative trait loci (QTL), and digenic epistatic analyses were utilized in order to elucidate the genetic basis for these kernel-related traits. Five kernel-relate...
