Fine Mapping of a QTL Associated with Kernel Row Number on Chromosome 1 of Maize.

The genetic factors underlying changes in ear morphology, and particularly the inheritance of kernel row number (KRN), have been broadly investigated in diverse mapping populations in maize (Zea mays L.). In this study, we mapped a region on the long arm of chromosome 1 containing a QTL for KRN. Thi...
