Genetic dissection of hundred-kernel weight through combined genome-wide association study and linkage analysis in tropical maize
This study identified critical genetic loci and candidate genes, such as Zm00001d028188, involved in regulating HKW in maize. The findings provide valuable genomic resources for maize breeding, potentially contributing to the development of high-yielding maize varieties through an enhanced understanding of the genetic control of HKW.
