Dissection of Leaf Angle Variation in Maize through Genetic Mapping and Meta-Analysis

Maize ( L.) hybrids have transitioned to upright leaf angles (LAs) over the last 50 yr as maize yields and planting densities increased concurrently. Genetic mapping and a meta-analysis were conducted in the present study to dissect genetic factors controlling LA variation. We developed mapping popu...
