QTL Mapping of Kernel Number-Related Traits and Validation of One Major QTL for Ear Length in Maize.

The kernel number is a grain yield component and an important maize breeding goal. Ear length, kernel number per row and ear row number are highly correlated with the kernel number per ear, which eventually determines the ear weight and grain yield. In this study, two sets of F2:3 families developed...
