Genetic dissection of yield-related traits and mid-parent heterosis for those traits in maize (Zea mays L.)

Genetic dissection of yield-related traits and mid-parent heterosis for those traits in maize (Zea mays L.)

Abstract Background Utilization of heterosis in maize could be critical in maize breeding for boosting grain yield. However, the genetic architecture of heterosis is not fully understood. To dissect the genetic basis of yield-related traits and heterosis in maize, 301 recombinant inbred lines derive...
