Combining QTL mapping and RNA-Seq reveals candidate genes controlling flag leaf width in foxtail millet
This study elucidates genetic and molecular mechanism regulating flag leaf growth and development in foxtail millet. The results provide a theoretical foundation for improving plant architecture and facilitating molecular marker-assisted breeding in this crop.
