Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals the Genetic Basis of Stalk Cell Wall Components in Maize.

Lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose are the three main components of the plant cell wall and can impact stalk quality by affecting cell wall structure and strength. In this study, we evaluated the lignin (LIG), cellulose (CEL) and hemicellulose (HC) contents in maize using an association mapping pan...
