Genome-wide association studies and whole-genome prediction reveal the genetic architecture of KRN in maize

Abstract Background Kernel row number (KRN) is an important trait for the domestication and improvement of maize. Exploring the genetic basis of KRN has great research significance and can provide valuable information for molecular assisted selection. Results In this study, one single-locus method (...
