Water Deficit-Responsive QTLs for Cell Wall Degradability and Composition in Maize at Silage Stage

Water Deficit-Responsive QTLs for Cell Wall Degradability and Composition in Maize at Silage Stage

The use of lignocellulosic biomass for animal feed or biorefinery requires the optimization of its degradability. Moreover, biomass crops need to be better adapted to the changing climate and in particular to periods of drought. Although the negative impact of water deficit on biomass yield has ofte...
