Integrated GWAS and Transcriptome Analysis to Identify Genes Underlying Plant Height and Ear Height Plasticity in Maize Germplasm
These results provide valuable genetic resources and theoretical foundations for germplasm improvement. The identified genes hold promise for molecular marker development, facilitating the breeding of elite lines with stable PH and EH across environments, thereby contributing to maize improvement and enhancing global food security.
