Genetic dissection of husk number and length across multiple environments and fine-mapping of a major-effect QTL for husk number in maize (Zea mays L.)

Genetic dissection of husk number and length across multiple environments and fine-mapping of a major-effect QTL for husk number in maize (Zea mays L.)

Husk number (HN) and husk length (HL) influence the mechanical harvesting of maize grain. We investigated the genetic basis of HN and HL using a population of 204 recombinant inbred lines phenotypically evaluated in five environments. The two husk traits showed broad phenotypic variation and high he...
