Analysis of heterosis and quantitative trait loci for kernel shape related traits using triple testcross population in maize.
Kernel shape related traits (KSRTs) have been shown to have important influences on grain yield. The previous studies that emphasize kernel length (KL) and kernel width (KW) lack a comprehensive evaluation of characters affecting kernel shape. In this study, materials of the basic generations (B73,...
