Micro-endosperm super-high oil maize is featured with tiny endosperm and high oil content in grain. To identify the genes controlling the micro-endosperm trait, three different F2 populations were gen
Plant fw2.2-like (FWL) genes, encoding proteins harboring a placenta-specific eight domain, have been suggested to control fruit and grain size through regulating cell division, differentiation, and e
The present study provides an assessment of the compositional diversity in maize B73 hybrids derived both from the Nested Association Mapping (NAM) founder lines and from a diverse collection of landr
We used genotyping-by-sequencing protocols to sequence a panel of 896 maize near-isogenic lines (NILs) containing randomly positioned introgressions from 18 inbred lines in a B73 background. The paren
