Association mapping for general combining ability with yield, plant height and ear height using F1 population in maize. [PDF]
General combining ability (GCA) is an important index for inbred lines breeding of maize. To identify the genetic loci of GCA and associated agronomic traits, an association analysis with 195 SSRs was made in phenotypic traits of 240 F1 derived from 120 elite inbred lines containing current breeding resources of maize crossed with 2 testers (Zheng58 ...

qPH<sub>1.01</sub>, a dominant QTL that contributes to plant height and ear height in maize. [PDF]
Abstract Plant height (PH) is an important agronomic trait closely related to yield and lodging resistance. In this study, bulked segregant analysis coupled with next‐generation sequencing (BSA‐seq) approach was employed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for PH in a large F 2

Integrated GWAS and Transcriptome Analysis to Identify Genes Underlying Plant Height and Ear Height Plasticity in Maize Germplasm. [PDF]
Background: Integrating tropical and temperate maize germplasm represents a pivotal strategy for driving genetic innovation, with phenotypic plasticity serving as a critical indicator of successful integration. Methods: We analyzed 155 inbred lines across 5 contrasting environments to investigate variation and plasticity in plant height (PH) and ear ...

Genome-wide association study for plant height and ear height in maize under well-watered and water-stressed conditions. [PDF]
Both plant height (PH) and ear height (EH) are critical traits in maize and are closely associated with grain yield and mechanized harvesting. Increasing the number of molecular markers and mining functional genes by combining approaches such as genotype and phenotype analysis will contribute to elucidating the molecular mechanism underlying PH and EH ...

In a large number of plant species, including maize, different phenotypic traits have undergone major changes through the breeding process, resulting in the creation of varieties and hybrids of good agronomic performance. This study aimed to examine the variability of the plant height (PH) and plant height to the uppermost ear (EH) of maize top cross ...
