QTLs for seed vigor-related traits identified in maize seeds germinated under artificial aging conditions.

High seed vigor is important for agricultural production due to the associated potential for increased growth and productivity. However, a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is required because the genetic basis for seed vigor remains unknown. We used single-nucleotide polym...
