Transcriptomic Characterization of Genes Harboring Markers Linked to Maize Yield
The research results allowed us to select three out of six candidate genes (<i>cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 1-CCR1</i>, <i>aspartate aminotransferase-AAT</i> and <i>sucrose transporter 1-SUT1</i>), which can significantly affect grain yield in maize. Not only our studies but also literature reports clearly indicate the participation of <i>CCR1</i>, <i>AAT</i> and <i>SUT1</i> in the formation of yield. Identified molecular markers located within these genes can be used in breeding programs to select high yielding maize genotypes.
