Dynamic QTL analysis and candidate gene mapping for waterlogging tolerance at maize seedling stage.

Soil waterlogging is one of the major abiotic stresses adversely affecting maize growth and yield. To identify dynamic expression of genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL), QTL associated with plant height, root length, root dry weight, shoot dry weight and total dry weight were identified via condi...
