Maize is a globally valuable commodity and one of the most extensively studied genetic
model organisms. However, we know surprisingly little about the extent and potential utility of …

Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most important crops in the world. However, few agronomically
important maize genes have been cloned and used for trait improvement, due to its …

Ear length (EL), which is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs), is an important component
of grain yield and as such is a key target trait in maize breeding. However, very few EL …

Low grain moisture at harvest is crucial for safe production, transport and storage, but the
genetic architecture of this trait in maize (Zea mays) remains elusive. Here, we measured the …

Background Identifying genotype-phenotype links and causative genes from quantitative
trait loci (QTL) is challenging for complex agronomically important traits. To accelerate maize …

In maize (Zea mays), kernel weight is an important component of yield that has been selected
during domestication. Many genes associated with kernel weight have been identified …

Most cereal crops were domesticated within the last 12,000 years and subsequently spread
around the world. These crops have been nourishing the world by supplying a primary …
